You attached the glibc patches, but your ipipe variant is missing. Could
you also explain a bit what kind of optimisations your ipipe version
contains, maybe they are of generic interest and we can discuss a
potential integration? And a description of the features/hooks it adds
would be good as well. That might help to restart a discussion if there
is more common ground and a chance to merge.

Hmm, so your approach is locked to 2.6.15 for now? What is blocking
kernel / ipipe updates?

According to your slides, you did a lot of concrete testing. Do you
happen to have comparative numbers of recent Xenomai's POSIX skin as
well (forgetting about the ABI issue for the moment)? Or do you have a
releasable test suite?
