Real-time pipes are deprecated.

As mentioned several time, using anything else in kernel-space than the
RTDM API is deprecated. If you are interested in the services the RTDM
api offers, see:

http://www.xenomai.org/documentation/xenomai-2.6/html/api/group__driverapi.html

For instance, you can see a section named "non-real-time signalling
services", which probably answers your question.
