The bi-sectable series is vary valuable for such porting efforts, and the current series needs major cleanup, since there are a lot of fixes, and code-backouts (e.g. softirq from hardirq thread context), which interfere with testing of a back-port at each level. So this is a valuable effort, and I hope that at least some of what you have done will make it into .25's RT port. If I have time to work on the port in the next couple of days, before Steven gets to it, I will see what if any of your stuff can be used. Thanks, Sven
