The RTAI skin is kernel-space only so far, and it doesn't implement to 
full set of RTAI services - which would be a lot of work to do...

Take a look at the Native API of Xenomai. It is quite similar to RTAI, 
but you may find it way more consistent. Unless there is a hard 
requirement to keep the OS layer of that frame work at RTAI level, 
adopting to Native services should be the preferred way to go.
