Subject: [ANNOUNCE] v5.14-rc3-rt1

Dear RT folks!

I'm pleased to announce the v5.14-rc3-rt1 patch set. 

Changes since v5.13-rc3-rt1:

  - Update to v5.14-rc3

  - Update the locking bits.

  - Update the mm/slub bits from Vlastimil Babka. The SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL
    can now be enabled/ disabled. There is a significant hackbench
    related regression due to the rework compared to the old SLUB bits
    we had. However I haven't seen anything in real-world workload. If
    there is anything, please let me know.

  - The "Memory controller" (CONFIG_MEMCG) has been disabled due to
    optimisations which it received as it made it incompatible with
    PREEMPT_RT.

  - A RCU and ARM64 warning has been fixed by Valentin Schneider. It is
    still not clear if the RCU related change is correct.

  - A fix for a ARM64 regression which popped up in the v5.13 released
    that led to a freeze while starting the init process.

Known issues
     - netconsole triggers WARN.
