Nah, I was just insufficiently bored.
It's surprising that patchlet worked at all with netpoll_tx_running()
being busted, but whatever, bridge now does its forwarding thing for RT
and !RT, transmitting twice per kmsg, though apparently only 1 actually
hits copper to fly over to console logger. See attached trace. Note
that for that trace I sabotaged it to alternately xmit via fallback.
This will likely end up being done differently (way prettier), but what
the heck, it beats a lump of coal in your xmas stocking.
Ho Ho Hum :)

netpoll: Make it RT friendly
PREEMPT_RT cannot alloc/free memory when not preemptible, making
disabling of IRQs across transmission an issue for RT.
Use rcu_read_lock_bh() to provide local exclusion for RT (via
softirq_ctrl.lock) for normal and fallback transmission paths
instead of disabling IRQs. Since zap_completion_queue() callers
ensure pointer stability, replace get_cpu_var() therein with
this_cpu_ptr() to keep it preemptible across kfree().
Disable a couple warnings for RT, and we're done.
v0.kinda-works -> v1 feedback fixes:
remove get_cpu_var() from zap_completion_queue().
fix/test netpoll_tx_running() to work for RT/!RT.
fix/test xmit fallback path for RT.
