It keeps the hardcore RTOS under all the open source goodies the rest of what GNU provides which make it's use advantageous. I have read of various hardcore RT patches where RT code is scheduled before any nonRT tasks so it's still the Linux kernel but with a form of RT subsystem keeping really close to the metal. But we know that there are many different needs while they all get lumped in the RT bucket. As far as I-Drive goes, I've heard it does control throttle and on/off functions of the engine but I would doubt it's doing injector timing and the likes.
