Subject: kthrt vs rt13

I am trying to determine which ktimers / hrt related patches are part of the rt
series of patches and having some diffculty doing so. I've heard it said that
the wish is for people to evaluate the rt series as a standalone patch, rather
than a collection of others. I can understand this point of view, but in the
case where someone is migrating from a kthrt kernel to an rt kernel and wants to
verify that certain bugfixes etc have been applied, it would be very nice to be
able to see the patch series file. Can anyone provide such a list?

Thanks,

Usually -rt contains the full -kthrt patch - except for a couple of
hours when updates happen. The fixes from -rt are pushed back into
-kthrt except for those which are -rt specific
