So this is what we do. Okay. This means we can enable the DYNAMIC mode
on PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels and switch between "full" and the "lazy"
mode(s).
On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels with PREEMPT_DYNAMIC the UTS_VERSION
string is set to PREEMPT_RT and PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is not exposed. Is this
on purpose or just happened?

Clark was asking for a file to expose whether or not PREEMPT_RT is
enabled and I was pointing him to UTS_VERSION but then suggested that it
might be possible if we expose the current setting of the preemption
model and use this. 
But with this it won't work.
I am not sure if PREEMPT_DYNAMIC is needed to be exposed and if
everybody is happy parsing UTS_VERSION (we used to have a
/sys/kernel/realtime file in the RT queue).
