Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.6.5-rt10 patch set.

Changes since v4.6.5-rt9:

- Added missing cpu_light_get() in the scsi fcoe driver. Patch by Mike
Galbraith.

- Under a special a condition (a preempted TLB flush in do_exit()) it
was possible on x86-UP to enter endless pagefaults. The pagefaults
stopped after a context switch.

Known issues
- CPU hotplug got a little better but can deadlock.

The delta patch against 4.6.5-rt9 is appended below and can be found here:

https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.6/incr/patch-4.6.5-rt9-rt10.patch.xz

You can get this release via the git tree at:
