[PlanetCCRMA] Help compiling 2.6 kernel for preemtpion and lowlatency

How?

Probably. If you want to be on the bleeding edge (ie: the latest latest
release) then you are going to have to work a lot (or maybe not, depends
on your luck :-)

On some tests I did here I got LSM to compile and run and it works fine
(but I built it with the kernel itself, not as a separate package). It
also depends on which kernel you are trying to build it into, I know
2.6.6 needs a newer, yet unreleased, version of LSM as some of the
internals have changed.
