Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.6-rc7-rt1 patch set. I tested it on my
AMD A10, 64bit. Had a few runs on ARM, nothing exploded so far.

Changes since v4.4.9-rt17:
- rebase to v4.6-rc7
- RWLOCKS and SPINLOCKS used to be cacheline aligned on RT. Now there
are no more which is the same behaviour as in upstream.

Known issues (inherited from v4.4-RT):
- CPU hotplug got a little better but can deadlock.

You can get this release via the git tree at:
