It really doesn't matter what the number is. No matter what it is, it adds
to the latency.

Just adding the timer and another interrupt just doubled the interrupt
latency. If an RT task were to wake up but this flag is set to extend the
currently running task, even if you made it 5us, it will be more than that.
You need to enable a new timer, get back to user space, trigger another
interrupt, before you can schedule the RT task from its original time it
was to wake up and run.
