When you run the prepare_kernel script add the flag --verbose. If you have ipipe patches already applied to your kernel you should see a message about ipipe patches have already been applied. It will just add the new Xenomai bits.

I guess that should work on top of existing ipipe changes already applied. But I don't want to upgrade ipipe patches, since it is already latest. My main concerns is about applying/upgrading xenomai driver/cobalt changes. Should I use prepare_kernel for that (without ipipe option) ? OR, should I download the commits and apply directly to the kernel in normal way? What is the right option, so that all future upgrades can be done easily, just like normal kernel? I think we should think about it and find some best way?
