We are pleased to announce the next update to our new preempt-rt
series.

- tracing updates (Luis)
- latency histograms (Carsten)
- build warning fixes (Clark)

2.6.29.4-rt17 is the last major update to the 2.6.29 -rt series.

There will be bugfix releases as necessary and eventually an extra
update release once the real hwlat (former SMIdetector) module / tool
is published by JCM aka. Jon "slaCker" Masters.

In the meantime I'm moving on to 30-rt.
