It's been absolutely rock stable since the last time I submitted it.
I've been using it on my local machine, and the amount of times >100us
(evasion failed) with and without PREEMPT_RT are identical with
the vblank changes.
It still applies cleanly when rebasing.

The vblank patches are the most involved change, and they ensure that
absolutely no lock contention happens in the critical path with irqs off.

Unfortunately the status is still same as the time I submitted it before it,
and pending reviews on the series.

Kind regards,
