Hmmm i just ment the Makefile system. That would make RTL development
a lot easier than the big cryptic makefiles that are used now in the
rtl dirs. Now i have the problems with the includes <linux/*.h> and
<asm/*h> because those point to my non realtime stable kernel.
With the makefiles from the kernel i don't have this problem.
