I've already sent a patch fixing this one (along with many others) a month ago:
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-February/031164.html
I wonder iof it was ever considered... :-/
It was but not for 2.6.21 timeframe due to people lack of time/bandwidth among others :-)
I was asking Ingo, basically. :-)
I intend to try to spend some time before the 2.6.22 merge window to gather those -rt related patches that can be merged already and push them to powerpc.git.
(Note to mingo: that means that we might end up with patches both in your tree and being push via powerpc, I hope that's not too much of a problem).
Well, this is happening every -rc1 now -- part of -rt getting merged to mainline.
I can't promise I'll have time to do much, but I'd like to do it, so find me on irc every now and then to "poke" if you don't see anything happening...
My purpose was only to get this into -rt patch for now.
Cheers, Ben.
