Standard as in 'make defconfig' or standard as in 'what my distro uses'?

Not easy to say without the actual .config.

However, I did note one thing. You are using the preempt-rt patch for 
3.10.15 and you apply it to 3.10.16 (or was that a typo?)

When I try to do the same thing; lo and behold, I get a reject in 
kernel/softirq.c.

Do you see anything suspicious here? :)

Try to use v3.10.15 and recompile. I think that'll work a bit better.
