Okay, got it. My question was driven by confusion of what exactly was package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-rt-bfq/ . Reading now the wiki in GitHub ( https://github.com/sirlucjan/bfq-mq-lucjan/wiki ), it's clear:

> Development version of BFQ

So, linux-rt-bfq is linux-rt, sprinkled with extra fixes to bfq unmerged yet to mainline.
