Excuse me for asking, but *why* would you want to do this? If you
have RTLinux you get hard real-time guarantees, which can be used in the same
way low latency can. As I remember, the low latency patch just sprinkled
schedule() randomly on the kernel source like magic faery dust. Shouldn't
make a damn bit of difference to RTLinux, since it preempts the regular
Linux kernel anytime it wants. Don't know if there are any adverse effects
the other way around, since I haven't tried this, since I don't see the point.
