Question inline for why the preempt / local timer dance is worth bothering with.
What am I missing?
Thanks,

What do we ever do with this mailbox that is particularly
performance critical? I'd like to understand why we care enough
to mess around with the preemption changes and local clock etc.

Having just given the steps above, having them out of order feels like it needs
a comment to state why.
