What can be used instead of RT workqueue?
The tlv320dac33 needs RT workqueue because I need to send the I2C command with 
minimum delay to the codec. If this can not be done (the workqueue is delayed), 
and the codec does not receive the command in time, it will literally die.

What are the options to replace the RT workqueue?
