Real time scheduling is always available in all kernels (that would be
the SCHED_FIFO priority ring). It becomes available to a user in the
standard Fedora environment if the user adds itself to the proper group.

"threadirqs" is the parameter, and what it does is to enable threaded
interrupt requests in the kernel. Each IRQ gets its own SCHED_FIFO
process, and those can be tuned by rtirq to have priorities that favor
audio processing.
