Hmmm, I'm getting really confused, I thought that the realtime lsm was
the one that was in 'mm (maybe none of them are?). Finally I found the
followup article on lwn that mentioned this:

"...The end result is that the rlimit patch has come back out of -mm..."

Maybe it was put back again afterwards? (this was reported on February
10). Hard to follow all that's happening...
