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>

+Description
+-----------
+
+i2c-nforce2 is a driver for the SMBuses included in the nVidia nForce2 MCP.
+
+If your 'lspci -v' listing shows something like the following,
+
+00:01.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0064 (rev a2)
+ Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 0c11
+ Flags: 66Mhz, fast devsel, IRQ 5
+ I/O ports at c000 [size=32]
+ Capabilities: <available only to root>
+
+then this driver should support the SMBuses of your motherboard.
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+The SMBus adapter in the nForce2 chipset seems to be very similar to the
+SMBus 2.0 adapter in the AMD-8111 south bridge. However, I could only get
+the driver to work with direct I/O access, which is different to the EC
+interface of the AMD-8111. Tested on Asus A7N8X. The ACPI DSDT table of the
+Asus A7N8X lists two SMBuses, both of which are supported by this driver.
