Agreed. It isn't "incompatible" per se but it is certainly not the intention anymore. With kernel preemption, we plan to cleanly tackle the lock hold times.
But maybe that is what the above means ... not "low-latency" per se but the general reduction in lock hold times and improvement of algorithms. This is something Andrew, myself, and others are working on. It is the follow up work to preempt-kernel.
