Ok, your patch with some modifications and extensions is in the SVN.
Compiles and /seems/ to run well on top of Xenomai 2.0. It only "seems"
to work as I'm currently too busy to set up a second box, so I only
checked if outgoing packets to nowhere are being scattered across the
new joint slots - they are. 8)

What I did differently: I broke up the lock when traversing the slot
list on cleanup and reconfigure for potential joint slots. I also
applied a stricter check when the head of a slot chain gets changed
(smaller MTU permissible, larger will break up the chain). Moreover, I
added /proc support so that you can see what you configured. ;)

More tests certainly required. I hope to spent some time on this the
next days and then roll out a release candidate for 0.9.0.

Thanks again for your work,
Jan
