Subject: linux-3.6.7-rt18 smoke test on ARM

3.6.7-rt18 builds and boots on some ARM boards (PandaBoard, Realview) for:

  - SMP, PREEMPT_RT_FULL
  - SMP, PREEMPT_NONE
  - UP, PREEMPT_RT_FULL
  - UP, PREEMPT_NONE


A patch is required to resolve a BUG_ON() from preempt_schedule_irq().
The patch is available at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/29/432

The PandaBoard frequently fails to boot with an eth0 error.  I have
only seen this for SMP, PREEMPT_NONE.  This same error also occurs
in 3.6.7 without the RT_PREEMPT patches applied, so this does not
appear to be an RT_PREEMPT issue.  The boot error starts with the
time out on ep0out:
