RT patches for various versions can be found at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/

You can read more about it here https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO

I have built working kernel 2.6.35.3 with Freescale patches from LTIB 10.12.01 using arm-none-eabi compiler without problems. It should be fairly easy to apply RT patches to 2.6.31 (from LTIB 10.05.02) and give it a go.

If you are going to play around with kernel good idea is to have U-Boot as a bootloader on your board, it is a lot easier to load new versions of kernel than using SD card all the time  ;)

Just looking at file config-2.6.35-6-ARCH+ use by newest ArchLinuxArm , it's look like already patch and configure using RT patch, is it true ?
