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>

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.

Nuvoton confirms that Intel uses a special firmware version +with different register addresses. The specification describing the Intel +firmware is held under NDA by Nuvoton and Intel and not available +to the public. + +Some of the register locations can be reverse engineered; others are too +well hidden. Given this, writing any values from the operating system is +considered too risky with this firmware and has been disabled.
