I had started on a forward-port to .25, but I got completely
side-tracked with a lot of other stuff.

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
