On PREEMPT_RT spinlock_t becomes a sleeping lock so this split is not
working. See Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst
What I don't understand: do you have to keep the interrupts disabled
for some reasons or is it just to avoid using _irqsave() twice?
I do have more i915 related patches in the PREEMPT_RT queue and I can
post them if you folks have time for it. For now, let me show what I did
here:

Subject: [PATCH 03/10] drm/i915: Use preempt_disable/enable_rt() where
recommended
Mario Kleiner suggest in commit
ad3543ede630f ("drm/intel: Push get_scanout_position() timestamping into kms
driver.")
a spots where preemption should be disabled on PREEMPT_RT. The
difference is that on PREEMPT_RT the intel_uncore::lock disables neither
preemption nor interrupts and so region remains preemptible.
The area covers only register reads and writes. The part that worries me
is:
- __intel_get_crtc_scanline() the worst case is 100us if no match is
found.
- intel_crtc_scanlines_since_frame_timestamp() not sure how long this
may take in the worst case.
It was in the RT queue for a while and nobody complained.
Disable preemption on PREEPMPT_RT during timestamping.
