RT PREEMPT patches?

Has anybody tried applying RT PREEMPT patches (http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/) to Nios II Linux?

Hi,

OK for the MMU version.

In the stable version, the Linux version is 2.6.30 (in the Makefile).

In the unstable version, the Linux version is 2.6.32-rc6.

You may apply the nearest RT patch to the NIOS Linux version and modify by hand rejected files (in the best case, juste sliding lines...).

But you have to modify some arch/nios2 files from scratch for porting RT PREEMPT. Have you read my PM on this point?

Pat.
