Xen devel - Jun 2012 - arinc653 scheduler

Josh / Kathy: Is Dornerworks still planning on maintaining the
arinc653 scheduler in-tree?  We''re closing in on a 4.2 release, so if
you are, now might be a good time to test your scheduler again (and in
the 4.1 tree, as we have had a report of it not booting).  There have
been a number of changes to the scheduler lock design in the 4.2
development cycle, so it''s quite possible something has broken.

If you''re not interested in maintaining it in-tree, that''s
fine too;
just let us know.  In that case we''d probably remove it for the 4.2
release and you can carry it as an internal patch.

Not sure if it is a bug.

George: Yes, we would like to continue supporting it in-tree. We''ll
look
to make sure it is still working under 4.2. Is there a timeline for the release
of 4.2?

Thank you,

We are waiting for the last couple of big patchsets to drop (see the
weekly 4.2 TODO list postings on xen-devel@) before we start to cut RC
releases, I hope this will be in a few weeks.
