	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.
