We are pleased to announce the next update to our new preempt-rt
series.
 
    - update to Linus' latest
 
    - more perf counters rt education

    - !RT build fix (jstultz)

    - MFD rt fix (khilman)
    
Known issues:
      - ARM highmem
      - scheduler load balancing oddities. Peter is working on it.
      - latency tracer oddities (latency tracers in combination with
        events). Steven is working on those

Give it a good testing. We aim for releasing a stable .31-rt in less
than 24 hrs after Linus releases .31 :)
