in this case you'll still have to use SA_NODELAY - otherwise you'll get
an interrupt thread allocated, whose priority could, depending on the
order of IRQ requests, be lower than the priority of some other
interrupt threads. In that case not only do scheduling latencies get
added to your latency value, but also the worst-case latencies of other
IRQ handlers!
