Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v7.3-rc4-rt1 patch set.

Changes since v7.2-rt5:

- Rebase to v7.3-rc4

The printk related changes are all gone. What is left in the queue is
PowerPC, i915 and a sysfs file:
- PowerPC
Some progress has been made. What is left is a pseries related MMU
change, a patch dropping KVM_MPIC (which is e500 only) and a stack
protector related workaround.
The stack protector workaround might work with a different fix since
only arch/powerpc is using boot_init_stack_canary().


Thanks Sebastian.

It is nice to see a little progress has been made atleast.
But it was mostly my mistake that I couldn't get time to work on it.

Let me see if we can atleast get these ppc patches upstream.
Most seems sensible to me.

But then would come heavy lifting on function and performance verification.
That's a different beast altogether.
