Ack'd. This is good data, and we'll pull this in, since
it improves the situation greatly. There is no guarantee
that -rt will build and boot on ALL bsps, so having some
non-functional boards is consistent with that approach.

I recall you mentioning that you'd open bugs for the issue,
and that is a good idea. We can use it to track any efforts
on this in the 1.1 and 1.1+ timeframe. We can disable
the support in recipe space, or in the kernel before 1.1
is released, if we don't get any of the issues you raise
addressed.

I just made a similar fix here, so we'll keep it pushed down, but
keep the patch validation step happy.

Merging has commenced, it will be in the upcoming pull
request.
