In that case we should probably drop the RT prebuilt modules (like we did for openvz and xen in squeeze) - or do semi-automatic binNMUs whenever a new linux_3.2* gets out. > I think we should do better and actually change the ABI numbers > per-featureset, as the current arrangement obviously works really > badly with OOT modules.

I think nvidia works with RT, although I haven't tried this myself. I picked up a patch from arch linux earlier this year that worked around some GPL-only symbols getting pulled in by the RT patch, but that is no longer neccessary.
