Err, no. I doubt the need for this restriction. A campus server kernel

Damn, it doesn't make sense to me. If I can
configure the kernel to be
or not to be preemptible then what is the separation good for? Isn't
overhead because of preemption the only price tag?
You are confusing preemption (which improves the performance of realtime
processes) with the permission to run realtime processes at all
(addressed by the realtime LSM, pam, or set_rtlimits).
