I was Ok with the Xenomai part, but we needed Philippe to review the
Adeos part, and release new versions of the patches, and having delayed
the 2.5.4 release for some time, and did not feel like delaying it much
longer.

Besides, we have started the 2.6 branch, and such a big change makes
perfect material for this new branch.

Your patches are not wasted, they have just been put on hold.
