asterisk users - Dec 2004 - Low-latency kernel?

While trying to apply the low-latency kernel patches to our RHv9
Linux 2.4.20-31.9, the patches would not apply. In comparing one
of the first patch files (lowlatency.h) to that already on the system,
it would appear the low latency patches were already applied by RH.

The original RHv9 file (lowlatency.h) even had the patch author's
name/credit in it.

Does anyone know whether RH made an effort to incorporate the patches,
and if so, about what kernel version?

Redhat kernel's, like most Linux distro vendors, contain around 200 
patches over the vanilla tree, including O(1) scheduler, VM system 
patches and the lowlatency patch.

You can find out the exaqct version etc by downloading the kernel SRPM 
that include the list of patches.
