As stated in the other mail, it was really PREEMPT_LL=y. I hope my error 
didn't cause you any extra work.

Which *is* visible by CONFIG_PREEMPT_LL.

I just tested 3.0.1 with rt8 patch + the ones i mailed in this thread
in both configurations. I can confirm that CONFIG_PREEMPT_RTB=y
doesn't show any bugs and CONFIG_PREEMPT_LL shows the following bug:
