Hi Daniel,

I like your idea on the plist simplification a lot. I will definitely
roll that into my series.

I am not too psyched about using the rt_mutex_setprio() API directly,
however. It seems broken to be calling that directly from non rt_mutex
code, IMHO. Perhaps the PI subsystem should be broken out from the
rt_mutex code so it can be used generally? There are other areas where
PI could potentially be used besides rt_mutex (this patch as a prime
example), so this might make sense.

rt_mutex_setprio() is just a function. It was also designed specifically
for PI , so it seems fairly sane to use it in other PI type
situations ..

Daniel
