there is nothing to 'port' - this capability is stock in the 
rtos-integration-preview3 and rtos-integration-preview3-merged-into-master 
branches since several months

the relevant task with these new boards is finding a suitable realtime kernel

- RTAI - probably not going to happen in a relevant timespan
- Xenomai: you drew a lucky punch: the i.MX6 by Freescale is supported by 
Xenomai
- RT-PREEMPT: good luck to find one; no advantage over xenomai in porting 
effort but worse results

see the Xenomai wiki and
