That doesn't help with PREEMPT_RT_FULL because include/linux/rwsem.h
looks like:

	[ ... some includes ... ]
	#ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL
	#include <linux/rwsem_rt.h>
	#else /* PREEMPT_RT_FULL */
	[ ... vanilla content including definitions of {down,up}_read_non_owner]
	#endif

So Ben's question was how (if at all) we should implement
{down,up}_read_non_owner for PREEMPT_RT_FULL.
Is it save to just use the vanilla implementation on RT?

Best regards
Uwe
