OK FIQ doesn't help :-) "Real time" means a few different things.
| kernel is able to connect with the high precision clocks of the arm

I don't know about any really high precision clocks (I looked in vain
for a CPU cycle counter register) a while back, but Andrzej Zaborowski
has a patch in the andy branch that allows "dynamic tick" scheduling to
much higher resolution than normal
http://git.openmoko.org/?p=kernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=c27edf64d78abb0bb8d3004a231b6a2fb4c9931e
he's planning to use it to get low jitter mplayer action. I guess this
won't do any harm for realtime.
