[ANNOUNCE] v5.6.10-rt5

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.6.10-rt5 patch set. 

Changes since v5.6.10-rt4:

  - Jiri Kosina reported that the IRQ's core spurious detector disables
    8250's interrupt line under high load on qemu/KVM. The root cause
    is that qemu process quite fast and issues the edge interrupt more
    often than actual hardware. The threaded interrupt runs longer
    because the RT patch increased the number of iterations of the
    handler for a reason which has been resolved in the meantime.
    It appears to the core that the IRQ is left unhandled because the
    primary handler fires constantly and the threaded handler appears to
    make no progress. To minimize the issue the loop-count is decreased
    to what upstream has.

  - A patch by Liwei Song to suppress a warning from the memory allocator
    during suspend-to-ram and not enable interrupts.

  - On kmem's cache destruction, the cache structure could be used after
    its destruction. Patch by Kevin Hao.

Known issues
     - It has been pointed out that due to changes to the printk code the
       internal buffer representation changed. This is only an issue if tools
       like `crash' are used to extract the printk buffer from a kernel memory
       image.
