Well, this patch will only help with CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y, which I
strongly advise you not to enable in your kernel ;-)

Also I notice your kernel configs have CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACE set.  You
probably want to disable that.

There are 5 or 6 regressions that the kernel guys need to fix before
2.6.19.  I think it should be released soon, but if 2.6.17 is working
for most of your users, I'd consider releasing that.  I doubt 2.6.19-rt
will be immediately stable enough for your 1.0 release anyway.

What's your target release date?
