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

- update to Linus' latest

- perf counter crash fix (peterz)

- disabled MARKERS on RT. Code with no use(rs) which just causes
trouble.

- edge irq forced threading fix. Fixes the IDE "interrupt lost"
reports

Known issues:
- ARM highmem
- scheduler load balancing oddities. Peter is working on it.
