For beaglebone, it is integrated in the I-pipe tree for the ARM
architecture (git://git.xenomai.org/ipipe-gch.git, branch for-core-3.8),
which is currently based on 3.8.0 but will probably be rebased on a more
recent version for the I-pipe 3.8 release, for the raspberry pi, you can
try the patch which has been posted by Paul, but probably needs rebasing
once the I-pipe for 3.8 is released.
