I recently built my first -rt kernel.

WRT 2.6.16-rt20, I wasn't sure whether to apply this patch to the latest
kernel (2.6.16.<whatever>) or just 2.6.16.

To be safe I patched to 2.6.16, and it worked fine.

I did this because following the "prepatch" example:
<snipped from kernel.org>
(for example, the 2.6.12-rc4 prepatch should be applied to the 2.6.11 
 kernel sources, not, for example, 2.6.11.10.)
</snipped>
