Montavista and another company (maybe windriver?) had developed extensive modifications with the Linux kernel to make it realtime-capable.

I believe the other company was Timesys (mentioned near the end of the article), not WindRiver. The latter is a recent convert and has not, to my knowledge, contributed much to Linux.

Part of my job is making sure that TimeSys continues to be active in the Linux kernel community.

FWIW, I've got about 80 submitted TimeSys kernel patches in my tracker. Not all have been accepted and most are admittedly minor, but we have been pretty active. We don't track our kernel patch submissions any more, so I can't give current data.

Scott Wood of TimeSys wrote the soft IRQ threads implementation in Ingo's patch set.

Jon Cooper is a TimeSys employee who is working full time with Ingo.

TimeSys is active, but we've been keeping a low profile. We're much more interested in seeing the work completed and accepted than in claiming that we did it.
