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>

+dm-delay
+========
+
+Device-Mapper's "delay" target delays reads and/or writes
+and maps them to different devices.
+
+Parameters:
+ <device> <offset> <delay> [<write_device> <write_offset> <write_delay>]
+
+With separate write parameters, the first set is only used for reads.
+Delays are specified in milliseconds.
+
+Example scripts
+===============
+[[
+#!/bin/sh
+# Create device delaying rw operation for 500ms
+echo "0 `blockdev --getsize $1` delay $1 0 500" | dmsetup create delayed
+]]
+
+[[
+#!/bin/sh
+# Create device delaying only write operation for 500ms and
+# splitting reads and writes to different devices $1 $2
+echo "0 `blockdev --getsize $1` delay $1 0 0 $2 0 500" | dmsetup create delayed
+]]
