[Xenomai] Xenomai 3.0.7

[Xenomai] Xenomai 3.0.7

[Philippe Gerum]

Xenomai 3.0.7 is out [1]. The GIT repository can be cloned from [2].

Some GPIO driver updates, several bug fixes in the Cobalt core, and a
critical bug removed from the pshared heap (for users of non-POSIX APIs
building with --enable-pshared).

An effort to sanitize some legacy from RTnet causing invalid accesses
from kernel space to userland memory also stands out, although more work
remains in this area.

This release supports up to the Linux 4.14 series for ARM, ARM64 and
PPC32. Work is still ahead for running Cobalt over 4.14/x86 though.

Sweet! But what is up with the new git branch "stable/v3.0.x" vs.
"stable-3.0.x"?

Same. All former Xenomai trees have been merged into a single one on the
gitlab repo as most of them share the same commit history. Branches are
named in order to differentiate between multiple eol/* for 2.x,
stable/current (when 3.1.x is here) and the single devel aka "next" path.

Is ARM64 a typo? The v3.0.7 tag doesn't have ARM64 directories in 
{kernel,lib}/cobalt/arch

Yes, ARM64 is supported over Xenomai's -next branch only. I-pipe/4.14
does support ARM64 already though.
