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>

+Kernel driver asb100
+====================
+
+Supported Chips:
+ * Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach"
+ Prefix: 'asb100'
+ Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2d
+ Datasheet: none released
+
+Author: Mark M. Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Asus ASB100 and ASB100-A "Bach".
+These are custom ASICs available only on Asus mainboards. Asus refuses to
+supply a datasheet for these chips. Thanks go to many people who helped
+investigate their hardware, including:
+
+Vitaly V. Bursov
+Alexander van Kaam (author of MBM for Windows)
+Bertrik Sikken
+
+The ASB100 implements seven voltage sensors, three fan rotation speed
+sensors, four temperature sensors, VID lines and alarms. In addition to
+these, the ASB100-A also implements a single PWM controller for fans 2 and
+3 (i.e. one setting controls both.) If you have a plain ASB100, the PWM
+controller will simply not work (or maybe it will for you... it doesn't for
+me).
+
+Temperatures are measured and reported in degrees Celsius.
+
+Fan speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). An alarm is
+triggered if the rotation speed has dropped below a programmable limit.
+
+Voltage sensors (also known as IN sensors) report values in volts.
+
+The VID lines encode the core voltage value: the voltage level your
+processor should work with. This is hardcoded by the mainboard and/or
+processor itself. It is a value in volts.
+
+Alarms: (TODO question marks indicate may or may not work)
+
+0x0001 => in0 (?)
+0x0002 => in1 (?)
+0x0004 => in2
+0x0008 => in3
+0x0010 => temp1 (1)
+0x0020 => temp2
+0x0040 => fan1
+0x0080 => fan2
+0x0100 => in4
+0x0200 => in5 (?) (2)
+0x0400 => in6 (?) (2)
+0x0800 => fan3
+0x1000 => chassis switch
+0x2000 => temp3
+
+Alarm Notes:
+
+(1) This alarm will only trigger if the hysteresis value is 127C.
+I.e. it behaves the same as w83781d.
+
+(2) The min and max registers for these values appear to
+be read-only or otherwise stuck at 0x00.
+
+TODO:
+* Experiment with fan divisors > 8.
+* Experiment with temp. sensor types.
+* Are there really 13 voltage inputs? Probably not...
+* Cleanups, no doubt...
