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>

+
+ <para>This ioctl is part of the <link linkend="mmap">streaming
+</link> I/O method. It can be used to query the status of a
+buffer at any time after buffers have been allocated with the
+&VIDIOC-REQBUFS; ioctl.</para>
+
+ <para>Applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field
+ of a &v4l2-buffer; to the same buffer type as was previously used with
+&v4l2-format; <structfield>type</structfield> and &v4l2-requestbuffers;
+<structfield>type</structfield>, and the <structfield>index</structfield>
+ field. Valid index numbers range from zero
+to the number of buffers allocated with &VIDIOC-REQBUFS;
+ (&v4l2-requestbuffers; <structfield>count</structfield>) minus one.
+The <structfield>reserved</structfield> field should to set to 0.
+When using the <link linkend="planar-apis">multi-planar API</link>, the
+<structfield>m.planes</structfield> field must contain a userspace pointer to an
+array of &v4l2-plane; and the <structfield>length</structfield> field has
+to be set to the number of elements in that array.
+After calling <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYBUF</constant> with a pointer to
+ this structure drivers return an error code or fill the rest of
+the structure.</para>
+
+ <para>In the <structfield>flags</structfield> field the
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED</constant>,
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PREPARED</constant>,
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_QUEUED</constant> and
+<constant>V4L2_BUF_FLAG_DONE</constant> flags will be valid. The
+<structfield>memory</structfield> field will be set to the current
+I/O method. For the single-planar API, the <structfield>m.offset</structfield>
+contains the offset of the buffer from the start of the device memory,
+the <structfield>length</structfield> field its size. For the multi-planar API,
+fields <structfield>m.mem_offset</structfield> and
+<structfield>length</structfield> in the <structfield>m.planes</structfield>
+array elements will be used instead and the <structfield>length</structfield>
+field of &v4l2-buffer; is set to the number of filled-in array elements.
+The driver may or may not set the remaining fields and flags, they are
+meaningless in this context.</para>
+
+ <para>The <structname>v4l2_buffer</structname> structure is
+ specified in <xref linkend="buffer" />.</para>
