I reworked the broken out series for 2.6.22.1-rt5 (note not -rt3) so
that it's a little more bisectable. I found that many of the patches
would compile but wouldn't boot.
Combined patch,
ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/dwalker/rt/patch-2.6.22.1-rt4-dw1
The broken out series is here,
Here are some more USB patches and fixes against your 2.6.22 git tree.
They add a new usb gadget driver, more urb->status cleanups, a new sysfs
attribute to get the raw config of the usb device, and some bugfixes and
documentation updates.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()

Don't worry.
Basically, merging is my job, and I happily do it. If I hit something that

If the code hits "goto free_buf;" it ends up in this code :

Thanks for catching this. Your patch looks fine. I tested for
regression, no problems. I also tested the error path and had the

A number of local #defines or functions exist which merely
add a constant prefix to printks. Perhaps it is better
