I noticed this driver uses the linux kernel timer mechanism to simulate
comedi_cmd's.  My question is this:  is it possible to call comedi_cmd()
on this driver from a realtime thread?  My (perhaps unfounded) fear is
that maybe the linux kernel routines that setup the timer and whatnot
aren't realtime-compatible?  At least, will the kernel crash if you call
add_timer() from a realtime thread?
