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.

And they are already in +the kernel. Because of this naming conflict, on Linux the BeOS +filesystem is called befs. + +HOW TO INSTALL +============== +step 1. Install the BeFS patch into the source code tree of linux. + +Apply the patchfile to your kernel source tree. +Assuming that your kernel source is in /foo/bar/linux and the patchfile +is called patch-befs-xxx, you would do the following: + + cd /foo/bar/linux + patch -p1 < /path/to/patch-befs-xxx + +if the patching step fails (i.e. there are rejected hunks), you can try to +figure it out yourself (it shouldn't be hard), or mail the maintainer +(Will Dyson <will_dyson@pobox.com>) for help. + +step 2.
