Subject: [ANNOUNCE] 4.4.1-rt5

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v4.4.1-rt5 patch set.
Changes since v4.4.1-rt4:

- various compile fixes found by kbuild test robot.

- Mike Galbraith spotted that migrate_disables() sets ->nr_cpus_allowed
  to one by accident.

- Christoph Mathys reported that the "preemptirqsoff_hist" tracer
  reboots the system once enabled. The problem has been resolved.

- Thomas Gleixner sent a patch to set a default affinity for mask for
  interrupts via kernel command line.

- Yang Shi reported that some perf events were reported as "not counted"
  instead the actual numbers. The problem has been resolved.

Known issues:
  - bcache stays disabled

  - CPU hotplug is not better than before

  - The netlink_release() OOPS, reported by Clark, is still on the
    list, but unsolved due to lack of information
