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.

The subchannel to + which the device in question is attached will be treated as if no device was + attached. + + An ignored device can be un-ignored later; see the "/proc entries"-section for + details. + + The devices must be given either as bus ids (0.x.abcd) or as hexadecimal + device numbers (0xabcd or abcd, for 2.4 backward compatibility). If you + give a device number 0xabcd, it will be interpreted as 0.0.abcd. + + You can use the 'all' keyword to ignore all devices. The 'ipldev' and 'condev' + keywords can be used to refer to the CCW based boot device and CCW console + device respectively (these are probably useful only when combined with the '!' + operator). The '!' operator will cause the I/O-layer to _not_ ignore a device. + The command line is parsed from left to right. + + For example, + cio_ignore=0.0.0023-0.0.0042,0.0.4711 + will ignore all devices ranging from 0.0.0023 to 0.0.0042 and the device + 0.0.4711, if detected. + As another example, + cio_ignore=all,!0.0.4711,!0.0.fd00-0.0.fd02 + will ignore all devices but 0.0.4711, 0.0.fd00, 0.0.fd01, 0.0.fd02. + + By default, no devices are ignored. + + +/proc entries +------------- + +* /proc/cio_ignore + + Lists the ranges of devices (by bus id) which are ignored by common I/O. + + You can un-ignore certain or all devices by piping to /proc/cio_ignore. + "free all" will un-ignore all ignored devices, + "free <device range>, <device range>, ..." will un-ignore the specified + devices. + + For example, if devices 0.0.0023 to 0.0.0042 and 0.0.4711 are ignored, + - echo free 0.0.0030-0.0.0032 > /proc/cio_ignore + will un-ignore devices 0.0.0030 to 0.0.0032 and will leave devices 0.0.0023 + to 0.0.002f, 0.0.0033 to 0.0.0042 and 0.0.4711 ignored; + - echo free 0.0.0041 > /proc/cio_ignore will furthermore un-ignore device + 0.0.0041; + - echo free all > /proc/cio_ignore will un-ignore all remaining ignored + devices. + + When a device is un-ignored, device recognition and sensing is performed and + the device driver will be notified if possible, so the device will become + available to the system. Note that un-ignoring is performed asynchronously. + + You can also add ranges of devices to be ignored by piping to + /proc/cio_ignore; "add <device range>, <device range>, ..." will ignore the + specified devices. + + Note: While already known devices can be added to the list of devices to be + ignored, there will be no effect on then. However, if such a device + disappears and then reappears, it will then be ignored. To make + known devices go away, you need the "purge" command (see below). + + For example, + "echo add 0.0.a000-0.0.accc, 0.0.af00-0.0.afff > /proc/cio_ignore" + will add 0.0.a000-0.0.accc and 0.0.af00-0.0.afff to the list of ignored + devices. + + You can remove already known but now ignored devices via + "echo purge > /proc/cio_ignore" + All devices ignored but still registered and not online (= not in use) + will be deregistered and thus removed from the system. + + The devices can be specified either by bus id (0.x.abcd) or, for 2.4 backward + compatibility, by the device number in hexadecimal (0xabcd or abcd). Device + numbers given as 0xabcd will be interpreted as 0.0.abcd. + +* /proc/cio_settle + + A write request to this file is blocked until all queued cio actions are + handled.
