I just found out that you can add

efi=runtime

to the kernel command line if you need efivarfs using rt kernels. It is
documented in
https://docs.kernel.org/core-api/real-time/kernel-configuration.html that
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT also sets CONFIG_EFI_DISABLE_RUNTIME because calling into
EFI can cause significant latency spikes.


Best regards
Jan
