Supporting an architecture is not "just" about writing a patch once, it
is also takes someone to keep an eye on it so that it evolves with the
projects, Linux kernel and RT-extension. The absolute minimum
requirement are active users/testers reporting any brokenness, even
better a maintainer providing fixes/updates. Obviously, this didn't work
for the RTAI port.

Maybe there are not already dozens of people waiting for CRIS support,
but once we have a clean and working port, I guess there will be people
showing up. Doing a bit advertising later in CRIS-related forums or to
board vendors can accelerate this even further.
