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.

+Kernel threads
+==============
+Pktgen creates a thread for each CPU with affinity to that CPU.
+Which is controlled through procfile /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_X.
+
+Example: /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
+
+ Running:
+ Stopped: eth4@0
+ Result: OK: add_device=eth4@0
+
+Most important are the devices assigned to the thread.
+
+The two basic thread commands are:
+ * add_device DEVICE@NAME -- adds a single device
+ * rem_device_all         -- remove all associated devices
+
+When adding a device to a thread, a corrosponding procfile is created
+which is used for configuring this device. Thus, device names need to
+be unique.
 
-Most important are the devices assigned to the thread.  Note that a
-device can only belong to one thread.
+To support adding the same device to multiple threads, which is useful
+with multi queue NICs, a the device naming scheme is extended with "@":
+ device@something
 
+The part after "@" can be anything, but it is custom to use the thread
+number.
