  Description     : The CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT Patch Sets for various Debian kernels

This patch allows nearly all of the kernel to be preempted, with the
exception of a few very small regions of code.

The goal of these patch sets is to guarantee an upper bound for the
system's latencies.

It's interesting e.g. for desktops doing audio processing and embedded
systems in time critical environments like automation.
