I may take a look at your tree. But as for the rt version I'm working on,
is not the same as the one you started with. I did a lot of merging, I
also have the new ftrace code in there. I also moved patches around to
what we will be pushing to mainline.

Bisection is required for each element, we don't need it for the entire
tree (atm). If we waste our time making the entire tree fully bisectable,
then it will be a lot of work to maintain that bisectability when we
rewrite entire sections.

I am making it boot with certain parts intergrated. But my goal is not to
have every single patch compile and boot. We'll worry about that when we
need to push a part of the code in. But reality, what is there now, I can
guarantee will not be the code that is pushed when it is ready.
