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>

+Representing flash partitions in devicetree
+
+Partitions can be represented by sub-nodes of an mtd device. This can be used
+on platforms which have strong conventions about which portions of a flash are
+used for what purposes, but which don't use an on-flash partition table such
+as RedBoot.
+NOTE: if the sub-node has a compatible string, then it is not a partition.
+
+#address-cells & #size-cells must both be present in the mtd device. There are
+two valid values for both:
+<1>: for partitions that require a single 32-bit cell to represent their
+ size/address (aka the value is below 4 GiB)
+<2>: for partitions that require two 32-bit cells to represent their
+ size/address (aka the value is 4 GiB or greater).
+
+Required properties:
+- reg : The partition's offset and size within the mtd bank.
+
+Optional properties:
+- label : The label / name for this partition. If omitted, the label is taken
+ from the node name (excluding the unit address).
+- read-only : This parameter, if present, is a hint to Linux that this
+ partition should only be mounted read-only. This is usually used for flash
+ partitions containing early-boot firmware images or data which should not be
+ clobbered.
+
+Examples:
+
+
+flash@0 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+
+ partition@0 {
+ label = "u-boot";
+ reg = <0x0000000 0x100000>;
+ read-only;
+ };
+
+ uimage@100000 {
+ reg = <0x0100000 0x200000>;
+ };
+};
+
+flash@1 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <2>;
+
+ /* a 4 GiB partition */
+ partition@0 {
+ label = "filesystem";
+ reg = <0x00000000 0x1 0x00000000>;
+ };
+};
+
+flash@2 {
+ #address-cells = <2>;
+ #size-cells = <2>;
+
+ /* an 8 GiB partition */
+ partition@0 {
+ label = "filesystem #1";
+ reg = <0x0 0x00000000 0x2 0x00000000>;
+ };
+
+ /* a 4 GiB partition */
+ partition@200000000 {
+ label = "filesystem #2";
+ reg = <0x2 0x00000000 0x1 0x00000000>;
+ };
+};
