Hi Gilles,

I see that 3.5.7 is the most recent kernel in the 3.5 series.  Xenomai
2.6.2 (and also master, and adeos ipipe) ships patches labeled for
3.5.3, but you have presumably applied the 3.5.3 patches to the 3.5.7
kernel.

Is it acceptable practice to apply the Xenomai patches to later
sublevels in the same 3.x series like this, or is this best left to
experts like you?  When doing this, have you generally found the
resulting kernel to be reasonably stable?
