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>

+Frequently asked questions about the sunxi clock system
+=======================================================
+
+This document contains useful bits of information that people tend to ask
+about the sunxi clock system, as well as accompanying ASCII art when adequate.
+
+Q: Why is the main 24MHz oscillator gatable? Wouldn't that break the
+ system?
+
+A: The 24MHz oscillator allows gating to save power. Indeed, if gated
+ carelessly the system would stop functioning, but with the right
+ steps, one can gate it and keep the system running. Consider this
+ simplified suspend example:
+
+ While the system is operational, you would see something like
+
+ 24MHz 32kHz
+ |
+ PLL1
+ \
+ \_ CPU Mux
+ |
+ [CPU]
+
+ When you are about to suspend, you switch the CPU Mux to the 32kHz
+ oscillator:
+
+ 24Mhz 32kHz
+ | |
+ PLL1 |
+ /
+ CPU Mux _/
+ |
+ [CPU]
+
+ Finally you can gate the main oscillator
+
+ 32kHz
+ |
+ |
+ /
+ CPU Mux _/
+ |
+ [CPU]
+
+Q: Were can I learn more about the sunxi clocks?
+
+A: The linux-sunxi wiki contains a page documenting the clock registers,
+ you can find it at
+
+ http://linux-sunxi.org/A10/CCM
+
+ The authoritative source for information at this time is the ccmu driver
+ released by Allwinner, you can find it at
+
+ https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi/tree/sunxi-3.0/arch/arm/mach-sun4i/clock/ccmu
