These changes are the raw update to linux-4.4.6-rt14. Kernel sources
are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page. During the rebasing, the following patch collided: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85). Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the source already. Change-Id: I7f57a4081d9deaa0d9ccfc41a6c8daccdee3b769 Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@nokia.com>

+ Please note that the kernel crypto API contains the AEAD givcrypt
+ API (crypto_aead_giv* and aead_givcrypt_* function calls in
+ include/crypto/aead.h). This API is obsolete and will be removed
+ in the future. To obtain the functionality of an AEAD cipher with
+ internal IV generation, use the IV generator as a regular cipher.
+ For example, rfc4106(gcm(aes)) is the AEAD cipher with external
+ IV generation and seqniv(rfc4106(gcm(aes))) implies that the kernel
+ crypto API generates the IV. Different IV generators are available.
