You use the term "hard real time". The RT patch set does not even come
close to providing a "hard real time" environment, and isn't even
attempting to. It does however provide user land applications a much better
chance for a "soft real time" environment. The phrase you quot above just
means the patches are applied to the kernel and there are no patches
required for user land glibc or your application.
