I don't have a plain xenomai-2.2.2 kernel handy, but I do have a patched version.  I do not have any problems with switchtest for xenomai-2.2.2 with the following patches:

  https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2006-09/msg00084.html
  https://mail.gna.org/public/xenomai-help/2006-09/msg00096.html

These patches are to nucleus pipe.c and pipe.h / rtai fifo.c and fifo.h.

I am running an Athlon64 X2 in with 32-bit Fedora Core 5.
