It was in there since version 2.3 ...If you don't know your way around 
rtlinux then maby you should not post misguiding answers to questions.

I have said this to others that made similar posts befor off-list 
but as this is continuing.... If you are on the rtlinux list 
you are welcome to help other users from the comunity, if
you don't want to help out with rtlinux related questions or 
contribute ideas to the rtlinux comunity you should not 
be posting on this list. I realy think it is an inapropriate and
stupid way of continuing a "crusade" against RTLinux/GPL, so pleas 
be so kind and stop that.

well aside from RTLinux/GPL being free aswell, it does provide that ability
the mechanism behind this is to register a signal handler that executes your
user space code and then have a hard-realtime thread issue this soft-interrupt
to wake up your user space singal-handler. This way the timing of the user
space application is controlled by a hard-realtime thread.

If you need some example code mail me off list.
