Well, thanks for all the work. I am actually already using per-irq threads and priorities on a 3.0-rc kernel (there is some boot option to enable them), and that helps for audio operation. It would be really great if realtime can move upstream completely eventually, and it looks like the current approach is a better match to the existing kernel, partly due to upstream improvements, partly through rewritten realtime code. The ongoing work seems very promising and seems to involve fewer compromises, boding well not just for the chances of getting merged upstream, but also of minimizing regressions compared to the non-realtime kernel. Thanks! -- David Kastrup
