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>

+GPMC (General Purpose Memory Controller):
+=========================================
+
+GPMC is an unified memory controller dedicated to interfacing external
+memory devices like
+ * Asynchronous SRAM like memories and application specific integrated
+ circuit devices.
+ * Asynchronous, synchronous, and page mode burst NOR flash devices
+ NAND flash
+ * Pseudo-SRAM devices
+
+GPMC is found on Texas Instruments SoC's (OMAP based)
+IP details: http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/spruh73 section 7.1
+
+
+GPMC generic timing calculation:
+================================
+
+GPMC has certain timings that has to be programmed for proper
+functioning of the peripheral, while peripheral has another set of
+timings. To have peripheral work with gpmc, peripheral timings has to
+be translated to the form gpmc can understand. The way it has to be
+translated depends on the connected peripheral. Also there is a
+dependency for certain gpmc timings on gpmc clock frequency. Hence a
+generic timing routine was developed to achieve above requirements.
+
+Generic routine provides a generic method to calculate gpmc timings
+from gpmc peripheral timings. struct gpmc_device_timings fields has to
+be updated with timings from the datasheet of the peripheral that is
+connected to gpmc. A few of the peripheral timings can be fed either
+in time or in cycles, provision to handle this scenario has been
+provided (refer struct gpmc_device_timings definition). It may so
+happen that timing as specified by peripheral datasheet is not present
+in timing structure, in this scenario, try to correlate peripheral
+timing to the one available. If that doesn't work, try to add a new
+field as required by peripheral, educate generic timing routine to
+handle it, make sure that it does not break any of the existing.
+Then there may be cases where peripheral datasheet doesn't mention
+certain fields of struct gpmc_device_timings, zero those entries.
+
+Generic timing routine has been verified to work properly on
+multiple onenand's and tusb6010 peripherals.
+
+A word of caution: generic timing routine has been developed based
+on understanding of gpmc timings, peripheral timings, available
+custom timing routines, a kind of reverse engineering without
+most of the datasheets & hardware (to be exact none of those supported
+in mainline having custom timing routine) and by simulation.
+

+
+Note: Many of gpmc timings are dependent on other gpmc timings (a few
+gpmc timings purely dependent on other gpmc timings, a reason that
+some of the gpmc timings are missing above), and it will result in
+indirect dependency of peripheral timings to gpmc timings other than
+mentioned above, refer timing routine for more details. To know what
+these peripheral timings correspond to, please see explanations in
+struct gpmc_device_timings definition. And for gpmc timings refer
+IP details (link above).
