So what *exactly* happened when it failed to work? The patch didn't apply?
The kernel wouldn't compile?  won't boot? Boots but no realtime?  Any
error messages?

What suggested that TRACE_IRQFLAGS would make a difference?

Xenomai patching succeeded but when running one of is test apps, "latency"

And the mailing list member suggested the following

First thing to do is to verify that you *really* need the patch at all.
95% of people who think they need special real-time patches don't actually
need them.  Linux already has fairly good soft real-time support, which
is good for most stuff.

Experimenting for automation and for educational purposes.
