AFAIK "Official" Linux tree by Linus does not have this feature. Note that it is almost only relevant to rela tme systems, an the "official" kernel does not try to be a real time system. Having said that extention to this kernel exist that do take care of this issue (and other real time related issues). One of them I'm slightly familier with is the TimeSys solution. It is close source though (binary LKM).
