[ANNOUNCE] 3.18.13-rt10

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v3.18.13-rt10 patch set.

Changes since v3.18.13-rt9

- The dead lock fix for ftrace fixed by Jan Kiszka in -rt9 has now an
updated patch by Mike Galbraith.

Known issues:

- bcache is disabled.

- CPU hotplug works in general. Steven's test script however
deadlocks usually on the second invocation.

- xor / raid_pq
I had max latency jumping up to 67563us on one CPU while the next
lower max was 58us. I tracked it down to module's init code of
xor and raid_pq. Both disable preemption while measuring the
performance of the individual implementation.

The delta patch against 3.18.13-rt9 is appended below and can be found here:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/3.18/incr/patch-3.18.13-rt9-rt10.patch.xz

The RT patch against 3.18.13 can be found here:
