Hi, Steven and all,
	The CAT patch has been in the tip tree already and hopefully it will be on

the next release. I think CAT is important for the real time support and wonder if
it makes sense to pull them back to the rt tree, possibly not all the rt tree, but
newer one like 4.4 rt tree. If yes, I can contribute to the backport.

4.4-rt is now a stable branch. If people want the latest enhancements
then they should use the latest development.

How invasive are those changes? If they are well contained and don't
touch the main infrastructure, I may consider it. But otherwise, I
rather not.

Feel free to backport them and offer a backported patch yourself. Those
that want 4.4-rt could take the stable tree and apply your patches.

Thanks for the explanation.

It's not a small patch set, so I will backport it and see how intrusive it. Will update late.

Thanks
