Dear RT Folks, This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.0.23-rt40-rc1. Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too. Note that this release will be quick, and I plan on pushing out 3.0.23-rt40 tomorrow, and start testing and release 3.0.24-rt41. The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate). The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the final release is. If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release on 3/14/2012.
