OK, I hope I did this right. Please go and test the latest 3.18-rc to
see if things work better.

To build 3.18.18-rt16-rc1 directly, the following patches should be applied:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.18.tar.xz

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.18.18.xz

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.18/patch-3.18.18-rt16-rc1.patch.xz

You can also build from 3.18.18-rt15 by applying the incremental patch:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.18/incr/patch-3.18.18-rt15-rt16-rc1.patch.xz
