I don't think you want to enable it by default for everyone. The riscv
defconfig sets CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y by default. For testing you need to
flip this to CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y and since CONFIG_EXPERT=y is already
set this option is available.
And yes, it works on the virt board and there is no wizardry needed ;)

Sorry I missed this. Just in case anyone's curious: I'm not flipping it on by default or anything, just adding a CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y configuration to the list of things I test before pushing to for-next or fixes.
