We are running Xenomai on up to 4x4 boxes, but only with 1 or 2 cores
used by RT tasks. I've some patch hanging around that restricts Xenomai
(specifically its host timer hook) to a CPU subset in order to mitigate
the scalability issues - guess I should finally get it in shape and post it.

However, my point is: Massive parallel RT is not (yet) feasible with
Xenomai, but it is no black magic to have massive parallel non-RT load
living together with confined RT load on the same box.
