The package you speak of is just the rtai fifos package with some macros
at the top to take care of the underlying differences between rtl and
rtai (e.g header files and save_flags etc). I have not been keeping
this up to date, as I was not sure if anyone was actually using it. I
think that this package has some use, as for those that want it, it
provides some IPC. I also think that it shows that it is not really too
difficult to make the same code work for RTAI and RTL. IMHO, it would
be nice to see more common code, as it makes the life of application
writers easier (to write code that works on RTL & RTAI).
