Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
Date: Sat Jul 25 12:13:34 2015 +0200
Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

We currently + do not parse this at all in kernel, leaving it up to + user space to solve the problem. In future, we may + do more parsing in kernel and add more files to make + it easier for simple user space processes to extract + more information. + + For each log entry (directory), there are the following + files: + + id: An ASCII representation of the ID of the + error log, in hex - e.g. "0x01". + + type: An ASCII representation of the type id and + description of the type of error log. + Currently just "0x00 PEL" - platform error log. + In the future there may be additional types. + + raw: A read-only binary file that can be read + to get the raw log entry. These are + <16kb, often just hundreds of bytes and + "average" 2kb. + + acknowledge: Writing 'ack' to this file will acknowledge + the error log to firmware (and in turn + the service processor, if applicable). + Shortly after acknowledging it, the log + entry will be removed from sysfs. + Reading this file will list the supported + operations (curently just acknowledge).
