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.

When the application +calls the <constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> ioctl with a pointer to +this structure the driver fills the respective member of the +<structfield>fmt</structfield> union.

For details see the documentation of the various devices +types in <xref linkend="devices" />. Good practice is to query the +current parameters first, and to +modify only those parameters not suitable for the application. When +the application calls the <constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> ioctl +with a pointer to a <structname>v4l2_format</structname> structure +the driver checks +and adjusts the parameters against hardware abilities. Drivers +should not return an error code unless the <structfield>type</structfield> field is invalid, this is +a mechanism to fathom device capabilities and to approach parameters +acceptable for both the application and driver. On success the driver +may program the hardware, allocate resources and generally prepare for +data exchange. +Finally the <constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> ioctl returns the +current format parameters as <constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> does. +Very simple, inflexible devices may even ignore all input and always +return the default parameters. However all V4L2 devices exchanging +data with the application must implement the +<constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> and +<constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> ioctl. When the requested buffer +type is not supported drivers return an &EINVAL; on a +<constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> attempt.
