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>

+
+FILES, CONFIGS AND COMPATIBILITY
+--------------------------------
+
+Two files are introduced:
+
+ a) 'arch/mips/include/asm/mach-au1x00/au1xxx_ide.h'
+ contains : struct _auide_hwif
+ timing parameters for PIO mode 0/1/2/3/4
+ timing parameters for MWDMA 0/1/2
+
+ b) 'drivers/ide/mips/au1xxx-ide.c'
+ contains the functionality of the AU1XXX IDE driver
+
+Following extra configs variables are introduced:
+
+ CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_PIO_DBDMA - enable the PIO+DBDMA mode
+ CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_MDMA2_DBDMA - enable the MWDMA mode
+ CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_BURSTABLE_ON - set Burstable FIFO in DBDMA
+ controller
+
+
+SUPPORTED IDE MODES
+-------------------
+
+The AU1XXX IDE driver supported all PIO modes - PIO mode 0/1/2/3/4 - and all
+MWDMA modes - MWDMA 0/1/2 -. There is no support for SWDMA and UDMA mode.
+
+To change the PIO mode use the program hdparm with option -p, e.g.
+'hdparm -p0 [device]' for PIO mode 0. To enable the MWDMA mode use the option
+-X, e.g. 'hdparm -X32 [device]' for MWDMA mode 0.
+
+
+PERFORMANCE CONFIGURATIONS
+--------------------------
+
+If the used system doesn't need USB support enable the following kernel configs:
+
+CONFIG_IDE=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
+CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
+CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_MDMA2_DBDMA=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
+CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
+
+Also define 'IDE_AU1XXX_BURSTMODE' in 'drivers/ide/mips/au1xxx-ide.c' to enable
+the burst support on DBDMA controller.
+
+If the used system need the USB support enable the following kernel configs for
+high IDE to USB throughput.
+
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
+CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
+CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_MDMA2_DBDMA=y
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
+CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
+
+Also undefine 'IDE_AU1XXX_BURSTMODE' in 'drivers/ide/mips/au1xxx-ide.c' to
+disable the burst support on DBDMA controller.
+
+

+These drivers wouldn't have been done without the base of kernel 2.4.x AU1XXX
+IDE driver from AMD.
