Subject: [PATCH 214/353] sysfs: Add /sys/kernel/realtime entry
Origin: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-stable-rt.git/commit?id=d819093684a97a1413bc1b9329be8a06f7cc2925

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?
