    I don't know about the status of 2.6.19 RT patch, but we're successfulyl 
using earlier patches with some add-on -- for example, timeofday syscalls 
calls are broken in the stock RT patch causing glibc to return imprecise / 
incorrect time... Look in the linuxppc-dev archives for the extra patches I 
posted that hadn't gotten into RT patch still...
