Well, normally we want low latency even for !CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels.

Actually, explicit preemption points are NOPs for CONFIG_PREEMPT
kernels, right?

Right. Do you have code?

I'd prefer to spend my time with patches to areas that actually do
take cleanup patches.

What's the status of this now? We can still see the sleeping function call warning or enable irq at resume stage. If acpi wants low latency even for !CONFIG_PREEMPT kernels, what's wrong with V2 patch?

We should not set any preemption points in irq or atomic. Since we have a simple fix, and it did fix bugs, why should
we make things more complex?
