A few more words about this: in this new patch, the boards specific code
was adapted to the new "flat log", which concretely means that all
boards now have to account for lost linux timer interrupts. This new
patch also contains a new ARM sub-architecture, the IMX. And finally,
Xenomai 2.4-rc7 contains a fix for the issue with context switches with
iwmmxt fpu. 

Please give it a try if you can.
