the biggest change in this patch is the merge of Paul E. McKenney's preemptable RCU code. The new RCU code is active on PREEMPT_RT. While it is still quite experimental at this stage, it allowed the removal of locking cruft (mainly in the networking code), so it could solve some of the longstanding netfilter/networking deadlocks/crashes reported by a number of people. Be careful nevertheless.
With PREEMPT_RT my machine deadlocked within 20 minutes of boot. "apt-get dist-upgrade" seemed to trigger the crash. I did not see any Oops unfortunately.

Lee,
Just curious. Is this with UP or SMP? I currently have my UP box running PREEMPT_RT, with no problems thus far. However, my SMP box dies while booting (with an oops). I am working on trying to get setup to capture the oops, although it might be tomorrow before I get that done.
