I posted v6 of the queue - but forgot to add you to cc list. Here is the
current version:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230510072817.116056-1-anna-maria@linutronix.de/

I have to mention, that there is still the issue with the fair scheduler
which wakes up the CPU where the process_timeout() timer was enqueued,
because it assumes that context is still cache hot.

Anna-Maria
