Hello RT Folks!

I'm pleased to announce the 4.4.157-rt174 stable release.

This release is just an update to the new stable 4.4.157 version
and no RT specific changes have been made.

Known issue:

- Cache line starvation. 'stress-ng --ptrace 4' is able to trigger a
latency spike of several ms. For more details check
