Hm, I thought you wanted this instead of the preempt-disable poll. The
first preempt-enable poll is what's based on the spec, which only
requires two requests 3ms apart, so no requirement on the number of
requests there. That works most of the time and the preempt-disable part
is needed only rarely. So do we want to increase the priority for the
normal case?
