I'm Sorry for answering to myself, but I want to add this:

I'm running on 
Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 3 02:52:35 
UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and I figured out, that the realtime-lsm is deprecated now:
"If you want to use the *deprecated* Realtime LSM, then you can prepare 
to make a deb package for it during this process as well"
http://ubuntustudio.com/wiki/index.php/Breezy:Enabling_Preemption
http://ubuntustudio.com/wiki/index.php/Breezy:Realtime_LSM

Therefore only the avm_fritz.c is of any interest I think.

I'm Sorry for the noise, I hope this is the appropriate ML for that 
error ??

Kind regards
