On page 280 5.3.1.1 Run a Latency Test the text:

"The last number in the column labeled "ovl max" is the most important."

refers to a paragraph which has been deleted. I found it in older versions, as follows:
sudo mkdir /dev/rtf; sudo mknod /dev/rtf/3 c 150 3;
sudo mknod /dev/rtf3 c 150 3; 
cd /usr/realtime*/testsuite/kern/latency; ./run
and then you should see something like this:

ubuntu:/usr/realtime-2.6.12-magma/testsuite/kern/latency$ ./run
