Sure. Should I add a link to my patch on the "CONFIG PREEMPT RT Patch" page? http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_Patch#Download e.g. in the "Download" section, something along the lines of: "An updated version of the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT patch (cleanly applies to kernel 2.6.20.7) is also available." I should probably mention that is not an officially sanctioned version, and that it has not received the same scrutiny as other patches? Regards.
