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. Change-Id: I7f57a4081d9deaa0d9ccfc41a6c8daccdee3b769 Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@nokia.com>

The x86 architecture has quite a few different ways to jump into
kernel code. Most of these entry points are registered in

syscall entry points and thus provides for 32-bit processes the
ability to execute syscalls when running on 64-bit kernels.
