Yes, there is interest. At least, I'm interested.

I've been using 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 with 

CONFIG_SECURITY_REALTIME=m

using the patch from here: http://www.joq.us/realtime/ at the suggestion of 
someone on this list... and getting some good low latency in, say, jack rack. 

But, It seems there's more than one way to do this. 

I was _trying_ to find a patch I could apply to the 2.6.11 kernel for realtime 
pre-emption, but this isn't it, I guess. I know read about Molnar's 
realtime-preempt patches somewhere along the way, maybe even tried to apply 
them to the gentoo kernel sources, but this didn't work out. I'm essentially 
clueless in this dept.

I also read somewhere along the way that maybe 2.6.11 isn't as good, yet, as 
2.6.10 for audio. But I don't believe everything I read.

Anyway, thanks for bringing this up. It'd be great to have a ready-made Gentoo 
realtime-preempt kernel.
