I don't know for certain that it will or will not, but I just looked
through the current Cooker kernel and I did not see the preemptible
patch applied.

You do realize that using this patch pretty much prevents the machine
from being used as a high capacity server.  It allow the kernel to be
pulled away from "unimportant" things to take care of "really important"
things like your desktop.  Hardly an acceptable compromise on a server.
