Will (or can) the scheduler pre-empt a low priority process that is spinning
in userspace in order to allow a high priority (or low latency) process run
on that cpu?
My suspicion is that the process switch can't happen until (at least) the
next hardware interrupt - and possibly only a timer tick into the scheduler.
