Thanks Michal, this was the problem. Unless x86_64 is going to receive an implementation of LATENCY_TRACE soon, it might be an idea to only let this be selectable on x86. (Unfortunately I couldn't use the resulting kernel anyway, as my lirc modules hang the system when modprobe'd; it's probably easy even for me to fix if I inspect Ingo's rt-preempt patch.) -- Cheers, Alistair.
