Hi Ingo,
  For the most part, it seems you guys have resolved most of the issues
that we ran into as well (e.g. early-flush-tlb, relocated die-notifier,
etc, come to mind).  I found one patch that was missing that allows
debug configurations to build properly.  Heres that patch:

--- linux-2.6.21.orig/kernel/latency_trace.c
+++ linux-2.6.21/kernel/latency_trace.c
@@ -24,6 +24,7 @@
 #include <linux/utsrelease.h>
 #include <asm/uaccess.h>
 #include <asm/unistd.h>
+#include <asm/asm-offsets.h>
 #include <asm/rtc.h>
 #include <linux/stacktrace.h>

With this patch in place, I am able to build/boot both a 21.1-rt1 kernel
with a standard x86_64 PREEMPT_RT+SMP both with and without the usual
debug options, so that is great!

We did find a regression.  I was mistaken earlier when I mentioned our
T60p laptops couldn't boot.  It turns out that issue was resolved
somewhere along the way and our published patches based on 21.5-rt19 do
allow the laptop to boot event with acpi=on.  With 22.1-rt1 the laptop
crashes unless acpi=off.  Now that we have your queue we will bisect
this and post that fix as well.

Thanks!
