My point being: it may be a more useful effort to add what is missing to the mainline kernel (the ethernet driver for instance) from the Xilinx tree and get Xenomai working on that kernel embryo which is bound to evolve, than to continue generating pre and post patches for the Xilinx tree. Vendor forks tend to become obsolete very quickly, and lack the review of their patches by the kernel community. -- Gilles.
