i'm afraid you're betting on the wrong horse :)

you could have patched it alright (no doubt about that) and also set 
EXTRAVERSION with the "-rt1-1" suffix, but, unless you've set 
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y you're not running a full-preeept RT kernel, that's 
for sure.

afaict, when one talks about a RT linux kernel, he/she's meaning that 
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and then, trust me, the "RT" will appear in the 
`uname -a` line output.
