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

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.

ACPI is the newer +of the two technologies and puts power management in the hands of the +operating system, allowing for more intelligent power management than +is possible with BIOS controlled APM. + +The best way to determine which, if either, your system supports is to +build a kernel with both ACPI and APM enabled (as of 2.3.x ACPI is +enabled by default). If a working ACPI implementation is found, the +ACPI driver will override and disable APM, otherwise the APM driver +will be used. + +No, sorry, you cannot have both ACPI and APM enabled and running at +once. Some people with broken ACPI or broken APM implementations +would like to use both to get a full set of working features, but you +simply cannot mix and match the two. Only one power management +interface can be in control of the machine at once. Think about it.. + +User-space Daemons +------------------ +Both APM and ACPI rely on user-space daemons, apmd and acpid +respectively, to be completely functional. Obtain both of these +daemons from your Linux distribution or from the Internet (see below) +and be sure that they are started sometime in the system boot process. +Go ahead and start both. If ACPI or APM is not available on your +system the associated daemon will exit gracefully. + + apmd: http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/a/apmd/ + acpid: http://acpid.sf.net/ |
