It was added back into 4.9 at some point after v4.9.30-rt20. I see an 
older version in v4.9.68-rt60, for example, hence my original email. It 
was dropped sometime thereafter, presumably because it no longer cleanly 
applies. I don't see it in v4.14.20-rt17, for example.

I can't draw an exact timeline, since rt history is hard to follow. I 
don't think so.

Not yet. The latest version on patchwork is OK, just needs to be rebased 
post-4.9. I'll post a new version when I get a chance to build and 
retest it.
