Jukka Ukonnen's patches were passed around by Jordan on -hackers, and I think sent to gnats around Christmas, so they should be easily found in the archives by searching for "ukonnen". I also have some local hacks that are similar but loaded via an LKM and run against a device for access. I'll put them up on Freefall by tomorrow AM if I can test them against -current. I haven't been eager to commit because I haven't had a -current system until recently, because it should be reexamined against the POSIX spec, have man pages written, peer reviewed, and because personally I want a skeleton for rt kernels in an SMP environment.
