Indeed, merging that one makes sense.

I would not recommend that. Xenomai 2.6.4 has been tested and
released to support kernel versions up to 3.14, so, I would keep it
like that. Xenomai 3.0 supports higher kernel versions, Xenomai
2.6.5 will probably also, but I will test the 3.16 and 3.18 versions
extensively before releasing it.
