You can setup Xenomai to allow non-root users to run real-time tasks [1]. This
is a similar situation to the pam changes we made for GNU Linux. The first
check in `fosi_internal.cpp::rtos_task_create_main()` needs to be
removed/modified, however, I do not know how to query the Xenomai runtime to
get the allowed use gid (you can set it multiple ways, and I don't know if they
all end up in one place). For now, perhaps we could change this check to a
warning and allow it to continue, instead of error and exit?

Do not bail out when not root and using recent Xenomai versions.
Patch by S. Roderick. We'll improve (or remove) the 'root' detection if
we can find a better way of seeing if root privileges are required.
