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>

+HSI - High-speed Synchronous Serial Interface
+
+1. Introduction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+High Speed Syncronous Interface (HSI) is a fullduplex, low latency protocol,
+that is optimized for die-level interconnect between an Application Processor
+and a Baseband chipset. It has been specified by the MIPI alliance in 2003 and
+implemented by multiple vendors since then.
+
+The HSI interface supports full duplex communication over multiple channels
+(typically 8) and is capable of reaching speeds up to 200 Mbit/s.
+
+The serial protocol uses two signals, DATA and FLAG as combined data and clock
+signals and an additional READY signal for flow control. An additional WAKE
+signal can be used to wakeup the chips from standby modes. The signals are
+commonly prefixed by AC for signals going from the application die to the
+cellular die and CA for signals going the other way around.

+2. HSI Subsystem in Linux
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In the Linux kernel the hsi subsystem is supposed to be used for HSI devices.
+The hsi subsystem contains drivers for hsi controllers including support for
+multi-port controllers and provides a generic API for using the HSI ports.
+
+It also contains HSI client drivers, which make use of the generic API to
+implement a protocol used on the HSI interface. These client drivers can
+use an arbitrary number of channels.
+
+3. hsi-char Device
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each port automatically registers a generic client driver called hsi_char,
+which provides a charecter device for userspace representing the HSI port.
+It can be used to communicate via HSI from userspace. Userspace may
+configure the hsi_char device using the following ioctl commands:
+
+* HSC_RESET:
+ - flush the HSI port
+
+* HSC_SET_PM
+ - enable or disable the client.
+
+* HSC_SEND_BREAK
+ - send break
+
+* HSC_SET_RX
+ - set RX configuration
+
+* HSC_GET_RX
+ - get RX configuration
+
+* HSC_SET_TX
+ - set TX configuration
+
+* HSC_GET_TX
+ - get TX configuration
