Isn't low latency part of the kernel as of 2.6? If it's not automatically turned on, it's an option in the config. I guess I'm assuming you're talking about THE low latency patch that we used to use on 2.4, but perhaps you're looking for any new low latency patches...?
You are thinking of the preemptable kernel config option. Unfortunately, wit this option turned on, it is still not possible to get as low a latency as it is on 2.4. There is however, a patch that is being worked on to address this issue, and while it is quite stable now, it still has some way to go, as more problems are being found all the time.
