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. Change-Id: I87543d81c9df70d99c5001fbdf646b202c19f423 Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com>

+What: /sys/devices
+Date: February 2006
+Contact: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
+Description:
+ The /sys/devices tree contains a snapshot of the
+ internal state of the kernel device tree. Devices will
+ be added and removed dynamically as the machine runs,
+ and between different kernel versions, the layout of the
+ devices within this tree will change.
+
+ Please do not rely on the format of this tree because of
+ this. If a program wishes to find different things in
+ the tree, please use the /sys/class structure and rely
+ on the symlinks there to point to the proper location
+ within the /sys/devices tree of the individual devices.
+ Or rely on the uevent messages to notify programs of
+ devices being added and removed from this tree to find
+ the location of those devices.
+
+ Note that sometimes not all devices along the directory
+ chain will have emitted uevent messages, so userspace
+ programs must be able to handle such occurrences.
