Is there any particular userspace tool that would need some updating, or 
is adding the sysfs knobs sufficient here? I think I've got all the 
sysfs stuff thrown together now, but still need to test.

testing with Uwe's initial patch. I do have supporting evidence in a 
bugzilla report that shows upwards of 5000ms still experience the 
problem here.
