[Adeos-main] ipipe backport for 2.4

[Alexis Berlemont]

Hi,

A backport of I-Pipe 2.6/x86 has been made for 2.4/x86. The patch is available 
at the following URL:

http://download.gna.org/adeos/patches/v2.4/i386/adeos-ipipe-2.4.31-i386-1.0-00.patch

All the I-Pipe stuff is quite similar to its big brother's. As a matter of 
fact, I-Pipe 2.4 is an adaptation of I-Pipe 2.6. I have tried to be as close 
as possible to the original implementation. Most of the changes are due to 
2.6 API evolutions. The handlers (irq, exception) have also been reviewed 
(argument marshalling is not used in 2.6).

Consequently, the 2.4 I-Pipe branch offers same functionnalities as 2.6's and 
their behaviours are nearly identical.

This patch has been tested on UP and SMP modes. 

 Regards.

Alexis.

Way cool! Thanks! :-)

Just one question - what do you mean by "nearly identical" ?
Could you provide a brief list of the differences ?

Thanks,
Hannes.

Functionally: none.

Thanks Philippe!
I tested a few examples I've written for adeos-ipipe and all work well so far.

Best regards,
Hannes.

Good. Actually, Xenomai is running on top of the ppc and x86 backports 
perfectly too.
