This release corrects the preemption kernel configuration only.  The
other requested kernel configuration settings have not been updated as
suggested.  I have opened further bugzillas/LPs to track these kernel
configuration options.

Thanks.

Title:
  kernel: update kernel configuration

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

  The below mentioned kernel configuration options are still not yet integrated into the Ubuntu kernel. In addition to the discussions on the skipper mailing list, hereby the bugzilla / launchpad to integrate and update the kernel configuration.

  An updated config patch to the kernel version above will be added
