You should backport this patch from the 2.6 tree instead:

This is kind of you to provide the patch, but I do not think we are
going to issue any new release in the 2.5 branch.

Even though 2.6 is technically a new branch, with a different ABI, very
few things (actually, none that come to my mind) have changed in the
API, so, the update should be painless.

Actually, we have a set of commits lingering in the 2.5 maintenance 
tree, enough to close it for good with 2.5.7. But I agree, this would be 
an exception to the general rule.

At http://www.xenomai.org/index.php/Xenomai:News#2010-10-06_Xenomai_2.5.5.1 I read: "Note: Xenomai 2.5.5 is the last release to contain a patch for Linux 2.4 on x86 ..."; thence I blindly assumed that Xenomai 2.6 would not work with Linux 2.4 - did I go astray?
Besides that, with third-party software as e. g. ProConOS, it might not be easily possible to update the Xenomai branch.

Yes, xenomai 2.6 still works with Linux 2.4 (or is supposed to, we just
compile-test) even though it does not include the patch.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about that. We let 6 months
between the 2.6.0 and 2.6.1 release, it can not be said that we release
to often.

I'm sorry, I can't figure out how to locate this patch. However, I found the attached message where you pointed to another patch, just for Xenomai 2.5.6, so I'll use that one, and let's forget my surplus duplication of work.

 From this tree:

  However, I found the attached message where you pointed to another 
patch, just for Xenomai 2.5.6, so I'll use that one, and let's forget my

I wonder if the 2.5 git does not already contain the fix:

http://git.xenomai.org/?p=xenomai-2.5.git;a=commit;h=c208eda73e263207fe32a01e35931e82e4a18321

Yes, but non released, since this is on top of 2.5.6. It is part of the 
set of pending commits I mentioned lately, that should lead to 2.5.7, 
because we close that branch for good.
