Thanks for the patch!
Looks like it fixed the problem Matt was having...

Subject: Re: [PlanetCCRMA] atl1 driver; sleeping function
Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2007 22:50:28 -0400
The newly patched atl1 driver seems to be working fine. I tried it
also in rt21.3 (that's the latest src.rpm in
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/all/linux/SRPMS/), and it
also worked fine -- I need kernel-rt-devel because I do use apps that
need nvidia drivers, and those are working fine in rt21.3 as well. I
can keep you up to date if anything negative happens.
Thanks again,
Matt
