The rt14 content is available at the split queue repo on the master
branch.  I've also created a 3.6.5-rt14-fixes branch, which contains:

1) another %cx --> %ecx mismatch warning fix
2) fixes a bogus PREEMPT_LAZE in a select line
3) pointless newline removal fix carried over from 3.6.4-rt11-fixes

All patches are fixed in-place directly within the existing patches
without changing the series file (vs adding a separate patch for
later folding).  So they should be a drop in for integration even
if folks aren't using this git repo to provide history tracking.
Patches on the 3.6.5-rt14-fixes pass a basic boot test on x86_32 UP.

For those who didn't catch one of the earlier posts[1] about the split
patch queue repo, it is a history tracking repo of all the releases of
the patches-3.6.X-rtY.tar.xz  (X=gregkh stable, Y=rt version).

Having the history repo allows you to track how each patch evolves,
how the ordering changes and so on.

You can use it just like a split queue tarball, in that you git am (or
git quiltimport) the patches in the repo onto a gregkh stable tree, and
then you can run "git blame path/to/somefile" to see seamless history
across rt and back into stable/mainline as to who mangled what lines.

The plus is, that rather than download and untar each time, you just go
into where you've cloned this repo, and issue a "git pull" to get the
latest update.  Go to your kernel tree, checkout the appropriate gregkh
stable baseline and reapply the patches and you are done.

Folks can browse the repo at:
