Dear RT Folks, This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 4.9.61-rt52-rc2.
Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too. The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate). The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the final release is. If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release on 11/27/2017. Note, I realized I only backported from v4.13.10-rt3 and not v4.13.13-rt5. Added a few more patches.
