It's not upstream, thus not able to provide official stable interfaces.
And it didn't pass the extra upstream QA yet. And my not live long
enough to be used in products. The common vendor kernel problem.

Plus, when you combine things with another downstream patch series -
that's what Xenomai is responsible for -, things do not become simpler.

Sorry, just burned again, not by NXP, but by the same pattern.
