add /sys/kernel/realtime entry
Add a /sys/kernel entry to indicate that the kernel is a realtime kernel. Clark says that he needs this for udev rules, udev needs to evaluate if its a PREEMPT_RT kernel a few thousand times and parsing uname output is too slow or so. Are there better solutions? Should it exist and return 0 on !-rt? Signed-off-by: Clark Williams <williams@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>
