I do not have information for current versions of the kernel, but last year
I was running 2.6.24-rt1 on a Toshiba tx4937 to do some experiments.

I have a few trivial patches for the latency tracer, but if you use a newer
kernel they are not needed because ftrace replaced the latency tracer
in 2.6.24-rt2.
