Nearly buried alive in patches, but this is hardly a complication.

Ok, merged.

Btw, since -rc1 is out, I've deprecated the Adeos oldgen support for all 
archs (ia64 is now I-pipe based too), so that I can merge Dmitry's work 
later on, exclusively into the newgen codebase. So if anyone still keeps 
any venerable pre-Ipipe patch in some hideout of his hdd, just let it go 
now; I know it's heartbreaking, but Xenomai is thankless.
