The original patch can be found here:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/older/patch-2.6.20-rt8
http://linux.kernel.free.fr/patch-2.6.20-rt8

diff to the original patch to show what was tweaked:

New patch that applies cleanly to 2.6.20.7:
http://linux.kernel.free.fr/patch-2.6.20.7-rt8

As always, if someone spots something I've done wrong,
I'd be happy to fix it in a hurry :-)

Ingo, Thomas, are there any fixes that were included in the 2.6.21-rt
branch only that need to be back-ported to the 2.6.20-rt branch?

I've been busy with mainline merge of highres timers lately, so I have
no good overview of the -rt state at the moment, but I will check on
this later that week.

Can you create an entry in the rt-wiki, so people can find your
patches ?

Sure.

Should I add a link to my patch on the "CONFIG PREEMPT RT Patch" page?
http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_Patch#Download

e.g. in the "Download" section, something along the lines of:

"An updated version of the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT patch (cleanly applies to
kernel 2.6.20.7) is also available."

I should probably mention that is not an officially sanctioned version,
and that it has not received the same scrutiny as other patches?

Regards.
