[LTP] request to enable realtime tests in default run list

[gowrishankar]

Hi Subrata,

We are looking for your concerns as well as from community on enabling realtime
tests by default. By the way we can broad our realtime tests as well as scan
the existing tests functionality with the help of community.

One bottleneck we had in past is that it fails to compile on platforms that
does not support few arch-specific tests (like TSC related tests) and also
I am not too sure about remaining platforms than System X and P.

We can think of either dropping platform specific tests so that RT tests depend
only on distros (for glibc ??) or conditionally enable them by looking for
platform ids.

Also, we can think of enabling/disabling whole RT tests in default LTP build
for the same reason I said at the top.

Your thoughts are very welcome.

Thanks for paying attention,
Gowri

Write few more m4 rule files, which will take care of stuff below:

     1. header files, 
     2. libraries, 
     3. any other user utilities, 
     4. any other system utilities, 
     5. arch dependencies, 
     6. distro dependencies(if any),

And the test across your patched for all the arch available with you.

Due to recent increase in usage of LTP by other archs like the blackfin,
arm, microblaze, etc. Please get some confirmation from them that your
patch also works fine with their archs. Most interestingly, they would
probably not require the RT tests to build in the first place itself ;-)
