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.

Overview + +This driver implements all currently defined RapidIO mport callback functions. +It supports maintenance read and write operations, inbound and outbound RapidIO +doorbells, inbound maintenance port-writes and RapidIO messaging. + +To generate SRIO maintenance transactions this driver uses one of Tsi721 DMA +channels. This mechanism provides access to larger range of hop counts and +destination IDs without need for changes in outbound window translation. + +RapidIO messaging support uses dedicated messaging channels for each mailbox. +For inbound messages this driver uses destination ID matching to forward messages +into the corresponding message queue. Messaging callbacks are implemented to be +fully compatible with RIONET driver (Ethernet over RapidIO messaging services). + +II. Known problems + + None. + +III. DMA Engine Support + +Tsi721 mport driver supports DMA data transfers between local system memory and +remote RapidIO devices. This functionality is implemented according to SLAVE +mode API defined by common Linux kernel DMA Engine framework. + +Depending on system requirements RapidIO DMA operations can be included/excluded +by setting CONFIG_RAPIDIO_DMA_ENGINE option. Tsi721 miniport driver uses seven +out of eight available BDMA channels to support DMA data transfers. +One BDMA channel is reserved for generation of maintenance read/write requests. + +If Tsi721 mport driver have been built with RAPIDIO_DMA_ENGINE support included, +this driver will accept DMA-specific module parameter: + "dma_desc_per_channel" - defines number of hardware buffer descriptors used by + each BDMA channel of Tsi721 (by default - 128). + +IV. Version History + + 1.1.0 - DMA operations re-worked to support data scatter/gather lists larger + than hardware buffer descriptors ring. + 1.0.0 - Initial driver release. + +V.
