I'll sign it.
Also, at the very least I think it would be nice to have a configuration
option in the kernel config to specify whether you want a low latency
kernel or not. Maybe this could be included in a kernel optimization
section:
<> Optimize for low latency
<> Optimize for raw throughput
etc...
