Hmmm...  Does 0xc10231a1 correspond to a function in your build?  If so,
could you please let me know which one?

OK, so according to "ps" the per-CPU kthread is runnable, but it appears
to never run.  You only have one CPU, so it cannot be waiting due to
running on the wrong CPU.  The only other loop is in wait_event(), and
that code looks good -- besides, if wait_event() was broken, we would
be seeing breakage everywhere.

Peter, any thoughts on what I might have done wrong to get the scheduler
into a state where it was ignoring a runnable realtime task?

							Thanx, Paul
