Linux is not real-time, it has a scheduler that, generally, makes sure
eventually everyone gets to run.  I think people often understimate
how useful a "live" scheduler is and how limited a real-time priority
scheduler is.

I think any use of priority inheritance is a misuse, and I am against
making the rest of the OS slow in order to provide it.
