Export real-time information out
of /proc and have procps display

proc-add-rt-info-rml-2.4.18-1.patch
proc-add-rt-info-rml.2.5.17-1.patch
Patches for 2.4.18 and 2.5.17, respectively, to export a
task's scheduling policy and current real-time priority from
`/proc/<pid>/stat'. In reality, either of these patches
should apply to any recent kernel. By adding the information
to the end of the `stat' output, this should not break
existing applications.

ps-real-time-rml-2.0.7-1.patch
Patch to add support to libproc to read and parse the new
real-time information from `/proc/<pid>/stat' and also to
allow ps(1) to output the information. The real-time
priority is given by the output option "rtprio" and the
scheduling policy is given by the output option "policy".
Note this patch changes the Makefile to compile only a
static library. If you plan on compiling a new installation
of procps, including libproc, for your installation, you
probably want to switch back to compiling a shared version.

Enjoy.
