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.

+There seems to be a problem with exp(double) and our emulator.  I haven't
+been able to track it down yet.  This does not occur with the emulator
+supplied by Russell King.
+
+I also found one oddity in the emulator.  I don't think it is serious but
+will point it out.  The ARM calling conventions require floating point
+registers f4-f7 to be preserved over a function call.  The compiler quite
+often uses an stfe instruction to save f4 on the stack upon entry to a
+function, and an ldfe instruction to restore it before returning.
+
+I was looking at some code, that calculated a double result, stored it in f4
+then made a function call. Upon return from the function call the number in
+f4 had been converted to an extended value in the emulator.
+
+This is a side effect of the stfe instruction.  The double in f4 had to be
+converted to extended, then stored.  If an lfm/sfm combination had been used,
+then no conversion would occur.  This has performance considerations.  The
+result from the function call and f4 were used in a multiplication.  If the
+emulator sees a multiply of a double and extended, it promotes the double to
+extended, then does the multiply in extended precision.
+
+This code will cause this problem:
+
+double x, y, z;
+z = log(x)/log(y);
+
+The result of log(x) (a double) will be calculated, returned in f0, then
+moved to f4 to preserve it over the log(y) call.  The division will be done
+in extended precision, due to the stfe instruction used to save f4 in log(y).
