Integration into Xenomai mainline means waiting for Xenomai 3, which
seems still a pretty long way to go.

On the other hand, you need a PREEMPT_RT enhanced  Linux  kernel  for
Xenomai/SOLO  to provide real-time behaviour which is probably needed
in most cases when you try and emulate a RTOS.  This  is  probably  a
bigger hurdle?

Best regards,
