Kernel Preemption patch

[brian.auld at adic.com]

Thanks for the help.

What's with RML? Does that stand for Robert M Love (just a guess)?

I did search the list archives but was searching on "kernel preemption/ive
patch" which didn't give me any hits.

Do people typically search this mailing list archives via the web link at
penguinppc.org? That's what I use.

Yes, but didn't you get any compile errors? There are some missing brackets,
etc. to fix. Check the attached message from this list.
