Subject: sysfs: Add /sys/kernel/realtime entry
Git-repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git
Git-commit: 6c1a03be3e8b7d328d4b03d2e2c0588f19ec73d1
Patch-mainline: Queued in subsystem maintainer repository
References: SLE Realtime Extension

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?
