MontaVista has provided the community with MIPS architecture support for the preemptive kernel patch. Thanks specifically to Jun Sun of MontaVista for the work. This patch will be integrated with the base 2.4 preempt-kernel patch soon. For now, this is diffed on _top_ of preempt-kernel for 2.4.19-pre8. While it is against 2.4.19-pre8, it should hopefully also apply to a recent MIPS tree checkout. Comments are welcome. Enjoy, Robert Love
