The interrupt pipeline will be maintained for running the co-kernel 
incarnation of Xenomai 3, and for updating the 2.6.x maintenance branch 
as well. To run 3.2 kernels and above, using Xenomai 2.6.1 or later will 
be a requirement.

There is an upcoming patch for linux 3.2, which is the first of the new 
pipeline "core" series, a massive refactoring of the I-pipe 
implementation and API, aimed at a better integration with Xenomai:
http://git.denx.de/?p=ipipe-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/core-3.2

It currently supports powerpc, arm, x86 and blackfin, and can be used 
with Xenomai 2.6.1+ and Xenomai 3 systems in dual kernel mode. I will
