No, mainline Linux does not support FCSE. However, you can use Gilles'
unoffical (but working) FCSE branches at

http://git.xenomai.org/?p=ipipe-gch.git;a=summary

Yes and no.

Gilles' patches offer a "strict mode" and a "best effort" mode. The
strict mode does have the limitation, but the best effort mode does
not.
