i have released the -U7 Real-Time Preemption patch:

  http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/realtime-preemp...

this too is a fixes-only release.

Changes since -U6:

 - crash fix: turn off 4K stacks when using RWSEM_DEADLOCK_DETECTION, 
   and tune down the default max # of tasks traced per semaphore. This 
   increases process-stack size and reduces the footprint of lock 
   objects. This should fix the bootup crash reported by Rui Nuno 
   Capela.

 - assert fix: fixed an ide-taskfile scheduling-with-irqs-off assert
   that Rui's .config triggers.

 - assert workaround: disabled PARPORT_1284 for now, this should fix the
   assert seen by Mark H Johnson.

 - NFS fix: clnt.c fix from Thomas Gleixner

 - debugging helper: print stackframe-size in backtraces.

 - large-stackframe fix: inflate.c fix

to create a -U7 tree from scratch, the patching order is:
