In the interim you could try set_rtlimit:

It allows you to access the enhanced rlimits (ie: RT scheduling and nice
levels) under 2.6.12 kernel or later without needing to patch anything. In
fact, even once PAM/etc are patched this might be preferred by some since it
allows you to control the limits based on the program being run; so for
example you can allow /usr/local/bin/ardour to run at realtime priority 50
while /usr/bin/yes (for example) can't.

Can anyone tell me *very briefly* what is the
current
state of play regarding realtime-lsm in the 2.6.*
kernels and whether this feature (or something like it
) is likely to be introduced into the kernel anytime
soon.
realtime-lsm should be considered deprecated. The solution accepted by
Linus is rlimit based. I think this will be in 2.6.12 (seems to be in
the release candidates). Check the archives for "rlimit".
This will require patching PAM and bash.
