I have to disagree. PREEMPT_RT does not block anything else, I'm actively supporting the NOHZ FULL stuff from the very beginning. So if people want to have xenomai or whatever in mainline, then they need to sit down and do the work. I'm not in the way as long as it makes technically sense and does not impose hard to overcome issues vs. maintainence and flexibility. Thanks, tglx
