[PATCH 2/7] RT: Peter Zijlstra's suggested improvements to rt-pushpatch

From: Gregory Haskins
Date: Thu Oct 11 2007 - 18:13:57 EST


This is my own interpretation of Peter's recommended changes Steven's push-rt
patch. Just to be clear, Peter does not endorse this patch unless he himself
specifically says so ;).
