I-pipe patches available from any given Xenomai version in the ksrc/arch/*/patches directory have been used to validate that particular Xenomai release, so picking one of them is always a safe bet. This said, you may use earlier patches from the Adeos/I-pipe project, since we try hard to maintain backward compatibility. For instance, Xenomai v2.4.4 works over 2.4.25/ppc and 2.6.29.4/powerpc; the same way, you may use any I-pipe patch for any kernel version ranging from 2.4.35/i386 to 2.6.29.4/x86. Of course, I-pipe patches are regularly updated with bug fixes, so you likely want to use the latest patch available for your architecture. In any case, have a look at the README file available from the ksrc/arch//patches directory; it should give you more details regarding how the interrupt pipeline layer is supported on your architecture.
