From e7909a8ac08579fb76c51cde86c1171c8d1c6c36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Clark Williams <williams@redhat.com>
Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2011 21:55:53 -0500
Subject: [PATCH 286/323] sysfs: Add /sys/kernel/realtime entry
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.204-rt100.tar.xz

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?
