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>

+ARM Atmel SoCs (aka AT91)
+=========================
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+This document gives useful information about the ARM Atmel SoCs that are
+currently supported in Linux Mainline (you know, the one on kernel.org).
+
+It is important to note that the Atmel | SMART ARM-based MPU product line is
+historically named "AT91" or "at91" throughout the Linux kernel development
+process even if this product prefix has completely disappeared from the
+official Atmel product name. Anyway, files, directories, git trees,
+git branches/tags and email subject always contain this "at91" sub-string.
+
+
+AT91 SoCs
+---------
+Documentation and detailled datasheet for each product are available on
+the Atmel website: http://www.atmel.com.

+
+Linux kernel information
+------------------------
+Linux kernel mach directory: arch/arm/mach-at91
+MAINTAINERS entry is: "ARM/ATMEL AT91RM9200 AND AT91SAM ARM ARCHITECTURES"
+
+
+Device Tree for AT91 SoCs and boards
+------------------------------------
+All AT91 SoCs are converted to Device Tree. Since Linux 3.19, these products
+must use this method to boot the Linux kernel.
+
+Work In Progress statement:
+Device Tree files and Device Tree bindings that apply to AT91 SoCs and boards are
+considered as "Unstable". To be completely clear, any at91 binding can change at
+any time. So, be sure to use a Device Tree Binary and a Kernel Image generated from
+the same source tree.
+Please refer to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ABI.txt file for a
+definition of a "Stable" binding/ABI.
+This statement will be removed by AT91 MAINTAINERS when appropriate.
+
+Naming conventions and best practice:
+- SoCs Device Tree Source Include files are named after the official name of
+ the product (at91sam9g20.dtsi or sama5d33.dtsi for instance).
+- Device Tree Source Include files (.dtsi) are used to collect common nodes that can be
+ shared across SoCs or boards (sama5d3.dtsi or at91sam9x5cm.dtsi for instance).
+ When collecting nodes for a particular peripheral or topic, the identifier have to
+ be placed at the end of the file name, separated with a "_" (at91sam9x5_can.dtsi
+ or sama5d3_gmac.dtsi for example).
+- board Device Tree Source files (.dts) are prefixed by the string "at91-" so
+ that they can be identified easily. Note that some files are historical exceptions
+ to this rule (sama5d3[13456]ek.dts, usb_a9g20.dts or animeo_ip.dts for example).
