  2.6.29 on x86-64: definitely (irq stack corruption). 32 bits and 2.4.35

  2.4.35 will be removed.
  
  2.6.29.4 will go away as well, since 2.6.30.8 and 2.6.31.1 have been

 Ok. However, if we want to check that Xenomai 2.5 still compiles with
 linux 2.4 base patches, can we keep at least one 2.4 patch in the
 repository?

2.4.25-ppc is here to stay.
