Sorry.  Should read:

*Everything* is preemptible except a few known code paths, whose
execution times determine the maximum possible latency from interrupt to
running the highest priority user process.

And, I think Ingo knows what "determinism" and "hard realtime" mean.  I
suggest you reread his posts.
