  - ported to 2.6.25.8

  - rwlock pi_lock fixes on waking up multiple readers (Steven Rostedt)

     [ for some reason, using RCU causes some latency spikes, this
       may be a sign of something going wrong in RCU itself ]

  - rwlock mutex owner fix for waking up reader with readers held
                                                  (Steven Rostedt)

  - rwlock remove waiter from pi_list on above fix (Steven Rostedt and
                                                    Thomas Gleixner)

  - rwlock replace macro with inline (Thomas Gleixner)

  - rwlock pending namespace updates (Thomas Gleixner)

  - futex fix fault (Thomas Gleixner)

to build a 2.6.25.8-rt7 tree, the following patches should be applied:
