Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.4.1-rt5 patch set.
Changes since v4.4.1-rt4:

- various compile fixes found by kbuild test robot.

- Mike Galbraith spotted that migrate_disables() sets ->nr_cpus_allowed
to one by accident.

- Christoph Mathys reported that the "preemptirqsoff_hist" tracer
reboots the system once enabled. The problem has been resolved.

- Thomas Gleixner sent a patch to set a default affinity for mask for
interrupts via kernel command line.

- Yang Shi reported that some perf events were reported as "not counted"
instead the actual numbers. The problem has been resolved.

Known issues:
- bcache stays disabled

- CPU hotplug is not better than before

- The netlink_release() OOPS, reported by Clark, is still on the
list, but unsolved due to lack of information
