Also note that if there are specific drivers that violate the latency
timing but the kernel itself is good, then there will be a case of "if you
need <5ms latency don't use a NE2000 card" or IDE drive or whatever.

I am not listing this as a problem as much as a reality that will arise
and an aswer to the suggestion that if the kernel can't be made perfect
it's not worth doing
