This is the first step towards porting LITMUS^RT to a new kernel version, and eventually to PREEMPT_RT. Please check it out if you have some time.

A quick update on the porting effort: there's now a branch called rebased-3.10, which is based on 3.10-rc7 and which includes most, but not all, of the LITMUS^RT commits.

A lot of adjustment was needed, but the branch now compiles fine with all LITMUS^RT options enabled. However, the integration with the scheduler is still missing. That is, to actually get a functioning kernel out of it, we still need to port the following patch.

It's on my todo list, but I probably won't get to it in the coming days and would appreciate any help I can get. If someone would like to take a stab at cherry-picking / porting ee9edc47682a0168d6aa2985f9a708b3c73e878d into rebased-3.10, please go ahead.

Thanks,
