The low latency patches are already applied (well the non-defective parts
of it, a small subset of the lowlat patch had bugs).
The preemption patches are not applied, because they are defective for 2.4
kernels. It's not safe to ship them simply because too much code
in 2.4 kernels depends on the principles
that the preempt patch changes and doesnt' get fixed by this
patch. DRM happens to be an example of such code fwiw ;)
