Under the (somewhat optimistic) assumption that the 3.10 branch works, I've back-ported rebased-3.10 on top of Linux 3.8.13, which is the version on top of which the latest PREEMPT_RT version is based. Some minor tweaks were required, but it compiles and boots in KVM. For the curious, the branch can be found here:

	https://github.com/LITMUS-RT/litmus-rt/tree/rebased-3.8.13

The next step towards low latencies will be to actually squeeze in the PREEMPT_RT patch between 3.8.13 and the LITMUS^RT patch series… volunteers welcome. :-)

Thanks,
Björn
