linux-3.6.11-rt30 smoke test on ARM

[Frank Rowand]

linux-3.6.11-rt30 builds and boots on some ARM boards (PandaBoard, Realview) for:

  - SMP, PREEMPT_RT_FULL
  - SMP, PREEMPT_NONE
  - UP, PREEMPT_RT_FULL
  - UP, PREEMPT_NONE


The PandaBoard frequently fails to boot with an eth0 error.  I have
only seen this for SMP, PREEMPT_NONE.  This same error also occurs
in 3.6.7 without the RT_PREEMPT patches applied, so this does not
appear to be an RT_PREEMPT issue.

This error also occurred in the previous smoke test of linux-3.6.7-rt18

The boot error starts with the USB time out on ep0out:

[    3.264373] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: usb_probe_interface
[    3.269500] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0: usb_probe_interface - got id

[   13.529998] IP-Config: Failed to open eth0


The boot error can be avoided with a workaround that simply retries
the failed USB command.  I will reply to this email with the patch.
