These changes are the raw update to linux-4.4.6-rt14. Kernel sources

are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page.

During the rebasing, the following patch collided:

Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85).

Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the
source already.

+The Symmetric Communication Interface (SCIF (pronounced as skiff)) is a
+low level communications API across PCIe currently implemented for MIC.
+More details are available at scif_overview.txt.

+The Coprocessor State Management (COSM) driver on the host allows for

 Here is a block diagram of the various components described above. The

+The Symmetric Communication Interface (SCIF (pronounced as skiff)) is a low
+level communications API across PCIe currently implemented for MIC. Currently
+SCIF provides inter-node communication within a single host platform, where a
+node is a MIC Coprocessor or Xeon based host. SCIF abstracts the details of
+communicating over the PCIe bus while providing an API that is symmetric
+across all the nodes in the PCIe network. An important design objective for SCIF
+is to deliver the maximum possible performance given the communication
+abilities of the hardware. SCIF has been used to implement an offload compiler
+runtime and OFED support for MPI implementations for MIC coprocessors.
+
+==== SCIF API Components ====
+The SCIF API has the following parts:
+1. Connection establishment using a client server model
+2. Byte stream messaging intended for short messages
+3. Node enumeration to determine online nodes
+4. Poll semantics for detection of incoming connections and messages
+5. Memory registration to pin down pages
+6. Remote memory mapping for low latency CPU accesses via mmap
+7. Remote DMA (RDMA) for high bandwidth DMA transfers
+8. Fence APIs for RDMA synchronization
+
+SCIF exposes the notion of a connection which can be used by peer processes on
+nodes in a SCIF PCIe "network" to share memory "windows" and to communicate. A
+process in a SCIF node initiates a SCIF connection to a peer process on a
+different node via a SCIF "endpoint". SCIF endpoints support messaging APIs
+which are similar to connection oriented socket APIs. Connected SCIF endpoints
+can also register local memory which is followed by data transfer using either
+DMA, CPU copies or remote memory mapping via mmap. SCIF supports both user and
+kernel mode clients which are functionally equivalent.
+
+==== SCIF Performance for MIC ====
+DMA bandwidth comparison between the TCP (over ethernet over PCIe) stack versus
+SCIF shows the performance advantages of SCIF for HPC applications and runtimes.

+
+SCIF allows memory sharing via mmap(..) between processes on different PCIe
+nodes and thus provides bare-metal PCIe latency. The round trip SCIF mmap
+latency from the host to an x100 MIC for an 8 byte message is 0.44 usecs.
+
+SCIF has a user space library which is a thin IOCTL wrapper providing a user
+space API similar to the kernel API in scif.h. The SCIF user space library
+is distributed @ https://software.intel.com/en-us/mic-developer
+
+Here is some pseudo code for an example of how two applications on two PCIe
+nodes would typically use the SCIF API:
