There is a new patch, patch-2.6.14-rt15-rf1, that adds support for robust and priority inheriting
pthread_mutexes on the 'heap'.

The previous patches only supported either file based pthread_mutexes or mmapped anonymous memory based pthread_mutexes. This patch allows pthread_mutexes
to be 'malloc'ed while using the PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP attribute
or PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT attribute.

The patch can be found at:
