...using the voluntary pre-emptive low latency audio patch, with the GRsecurity patch for 2.6.8 ?
.... Is there any information on a similar relation or closely related one on either 2.6.8 or a close version..?

...or any modifications that can be done, slight modifications to the patch to enable both to run simultaneously, as the race conditions evident within the 2.4 series of pre-emptive kernel patches are unrelated in the 2.6.x series.
Again, the ......differences to enable this to work rapidly may be highly slight, at this point- or at least I ask whether it is possible to enable TCP stack randomization and certain elements within the GRSecurity patch such that the race condition would not occur, while disenabling other functions.
Please let me know, if anyone in development has any ideas. [I am a highly competent programmer, so I don't mind altering the ....patch slightly as needed, but some information will be absolutely useful......

the biggest 'problem' with Ingo's VP/RT patches is that they track -mm while neither PaX nor grsecurity do so and given the amount of VM and other changes in -mm, it's a non-trivial port (of course some of -mm will eventually end up in the Linus tree and we'll have to accommodate that). if you need select bits only and have specific problems in porting, ask here or in email.
