[gentoo-user] Gentoo realtime-preempt kernel?

Hi, I'm just poking around looking at kernels again this morning. Maybe I've missed it but I cannot find one in portage that uses Ingo Molnar's realtime-preempt patches. Is there one? I am now using both ck-sources as well as the realtime-lsm module from portage. Many thanks to who ever helped w
