Perhaps an SMM ring -2 touchpad driver?

If you're developing anything on x86 that needs realtime - how do you disable SMM drivers causing unexpected latency?

Buy HW that can be flashed with coreboot?

And while it won't (completely) remove SMM, https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner might get rid of some stuff. I think that's more about getting rid of spyware and ring -1 security bugs than improving real-time behavior though.
