If you're looking to patch it further though, there are only really two patches you need: 1) Ingo's realtime-preempt patchset http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/ 2) the current realtime-lsm patch. it can be found in the broken out patches from the mm patchset http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.12-rc3/2.6.12-rc3-mm2/broken-out/ I'm currently using a kernel with the Gentoo patchset applied (for added stability and bug fixes), with these two added on top (for lower latency and the LSM capability). Works fine.
