Thomas, does this dynamic priority support work

at SCHED_OTHER? I tried, and it seems to work here, I just want to make sure
it's valid to do so.
The softirq-timer/0 is not affected by this. Only the timers which are
in the hrtimer subsystem are handled that way.
Thats currently: nano_sleep, itimer, posix_timers
Sorry, I'm more confused than I was at the beginning of the thread.
How can the OP's problem (setting softirq-timer to SCHED_FIFO priority
99 is required to get sleep() to work, but causes large latencies when
rt_secret_rebuild() runs) be addressed? Is the only solution to enable
high res timers?
