Merging with chris's kernel does not make sense. He took the lab126 kernel and added some stuff.

What I'm trying to do is get the lab126 kernel in a git repo that has history and future, so git can do some of the heavy lifting of merging v2.6.31+.

I just tried doing this with v2.6.31-rt11, which has a few less conflicts. After overwriting that with the lab126 version, I merged a few small increments, and finally tried to make the leap from 31 to 33(there is no 32-rt), by running "git merge v2.6.33-rt8".

It has a lot of conflicts. Even in arch/x86 and arch/powerpc

I installed a three-way merge tool and did "git mergetool", but I'm just not enough kernel hacker to do it. I merged some docs, C and even ASM code, but then I hit a ton of files in arch/arm/mach-mx25/ that where added on both sides or had non-trivial changes on both sides.

I will push my minor increments to github, maybe it is of use to someone. I can't take it any further though.

This is the most recent v2.6.31.*.-*rt
https://github.com/pepijndevos/kindl...a6b0c4444ea452

The next step would be v2.6.33 and possibly v3.0.10, but I would be content with v2.6.33.

Not going to happen I guess. I'll just see what I can do with an old v2.6.31 kernel. Get Chris' kernel and a Debian chroot, and it wont be too bad.
