Sorry I did not answer the specific question. The nptl patch and the low
latency and preemption patches are not compatible as is, that is why I
did not include nptl. I imagine they could be changed and merged but
that's for gurus with a lot of time in their hands. 

If you need nptl and rh9 you could use the capabilities enabled Planet
CCRMA kernel that derives from the original RedHat kernel but the
tradeoff is that the latency behavior is not that good.
