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>

+Description:
+
+ As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from
+ userspace. GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit
+ "export" operation. If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by
+ kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later).
+ Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access.
+
+ GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in
+ the range 0..INT_MAX. See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information.
+
+ /sys/class/gpio
+ /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace
+ /unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel
+ /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N
+ /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs
+ /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write: high, low
+ /edge ... r/w as: none, falling, rising, both
+ /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO
+ /base ... (r/o) same as N
+ /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique
+ /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N to N + (ngpio - 1)
