Hi,

Since yesterday is old, and yesterday's kernels aren't interesting,
here's a fresh one: 3.0.1-rt8.

Hmmm, what are reasonable values for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_PRIO and
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST_DELAY? (or at least what are you using?). I think
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST should be working now so I should reenable the
option for my next build.

I use the defaults, except when verifying that I can change them.  ;-)

							Thanx, Paul

Aside from the obvious rebase to 3.0.1 changes include:

 - a fix from Rostedt for his cpupri rework involving memory ordering
 - a fix from me regarding this highmem muck, seeing as I mostly
   wrecked things last time around :-)
 - some lockdep annotations from upstream for things people were
   seeing here as well
 - a patch from Clark adding a sysfs file to recognize a PREEMP_RT
   kernel for udev -- is there really no saner solution !?
 - and a fresh raw_spinlock_t conversion of cpufreq_driver_lock, done
   just minutes before releasing this, to keep life interesting.

Still working on the known issues from last time..

The patch is at:

  http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-3.0.1-rt8.patch.bz2

The quilt series can be found here:

Once kernel.org mirrors catch up that is..
