3.4.4-rt14-rc2 stable review

Dear RT Folks,

This is the RT stable review cycle of patch 3.4.4-rt14-rc2.

Please scream at me if I messed something up. Please test the patches too.

The -rc release will be uploaded to kernel.org and will be deleted when the final release is out. This is just a review release (or release candidate).

The pre-releases will not be pushed to the git repository, only the final release is.

If all goes well, this patch will be converted to the next main release on 7/18/2012.

What changed between -rc1:

Patch was added:
cpu/rt: Fix cpu_hotplug variable initialization

Enjoy,

-- Steve
