i have released the 2.6.14-rc4-rt7 tree, which can be downloaded from
the usual place:

http://redhat.com/~mingo/realtime-preempt/

the biggest change is the merging of "ktimers next step", a'ka the
clockevents framework, from Thomas Gleixner. This is mostly a design
cleanup of the existing timekeeping, timer and HRT codebase. One
user-visible aspect is that the PIT timer is now available as a hres
source too - APIC-less systems will find this useful.

otherwise, there are lots of fixes all across the spectrum.

Changes since 2.6.14-rc4-rt1:

- clockevents framework (Thomas Gleixner)

- ktimer and HRT updates (Thomas Gleixner)

- robust futex updates (David Singleton)

- symbol export fixes (Steven Rostedt)

- export tsc_c3_compensate for real (reported by Rui Nuno Capela)

- fix for the nanosleep() -ERESTARTBLOCK bug
(reported by Fernando Lopez-Lezcano)

- x64 latency tracer fixes (reported by Mark Knecht)

- PRINTK_IGNORE_LOGLEVEL bugfix

- various build fixes
