John,

Okay, great.

I have found an issue with all source files of the new tests. At some
stage between the original files and Clark's tree, the line delimiters
changed from NL to CR/NL. Would be great, if you could move this back to NL.

A second issue is related to the removal of the getcpu() definition.
There is a leftover in svsematest.c which should also be removed for
consistency. However, this and the other tests no longer compile in EL5
without this definition - should we better revert this and provide a
working recognition through "grep sched_getcpu
/usr/include/bits/sched.h"? Or is EL5 irrelevant in this context? I
still have an EL5 test machine where all RT kernels are tested.

Another issue is in the file backfire.c After you removed the line
>> -	sed s/__VERSION_STRING__/$(VERSION_STRING)/ [..]
from the Makefile, the driver is producing the rather ugly syslog message:
  backfire driver v__VERSION_STRING__
instead of
  backfire driver v0.57
or similar.

We better completely remove the version display.
