Hi Steve
Probably one of the most important patches that was missed is the one
from Chirag. I've taken it and updated it against 2.6.26.3-rt2 for
you, in case that will speed up -rt3 (see attached). (two hunks were
rejected because another applied fix fixed the same thing as part of
Chirag's patch.
I've compiled and done some limited testing, and among other things it
removes this kind of message.

Another patch that should be included in -rt3 was discussed here.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-rt-users&m=121751295105462&w=2
After some attempts at fixing this myself, Peter Zijlstra offered the
above solution (in the link) which I've been running with ever since,
no changes required, and it solved the problem.
I'm attaching the patch again, I think it would be optimal to get
Peter's Signed-off-by: on it as he is the author of the patch.
No changes or refreshing were required against 2.6.26.3-rt2
