These changes are the raw update to linux-4.4.6-rt14. Kernel sources

are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page.

During the rebasing, the following patch collided:

Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85).

Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the
source already.

 IN-KERNEL AUTOMOUNTING
 ======================
 
-A filesystem can now mount another filesystem on one of its directories by the
-following procedure:
-
- (1) Give the directory a follow_link() operation.
-
-     When the directory is accessed, the follow_link op will be called, and
-     it will be provided with the location of the mountpoint in the nameidata
-     structure (vfsmount and dentry).
-
- (2) Have the follow_link() op do the following steps:
-
-     (a) Call vfs_kern_mount() to call the appropriate filesystem to set up a
-         superblock and gain a vfsmount structure representing it.
-
-     (b) Copy the nameidata provided as an argument and substitute the dentry
-	 argument into it the copy.
-
-     (c) Call do_add_mount() to install the new vfsmount into the namespace's
-	 mountpoint tree, thus making it accessible to userspace. Use the
-	 nameidata set up in (b) as the destination.
-
-	 If the mountpoint will be automatically expired, then do_add_mount()
-	 should also be given the location of an expiration list (see further
-	 down).
-
-     (d) Release the path in the nameidata argument and substitute in the new
-	 vfsmount and its root dentry. The ref counts on these will need
-	 incrementing.

 Then from userspace, you can just do something like:
