Subject: Is it possible to get deterministic system with 3.10.xx and Full-RT-preemption?

Is there a possible configuration/implementation at Kernel 3.10.xx
with PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y (or newer) to get an explicit thread for
workqueues which do exclusive work?

I want to increase the priority of my drivers workqueue (and only
this) to be still functional under heavy system load like
network-flood for example.

I tried explicit kthread-worker creation, but it behaves same as
workqueue implementation.
