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. Change-Id: I87543d81c9df70d99c5001fbdf646b202c19f423 Signed-off-by: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com>

+config SLIP
+ tristate "SLIP (serial line) support"
+ depends on TTY
+ ---help---
+ Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
+ connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
+ other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
+ Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
+ Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
+ serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
+ nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
+ purpose.
+
+ Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
+ to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
+ around (available from
+ <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
+ allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
+ you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
+ NET-3-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
+ configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
+ want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
+ Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
+ some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
+ <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
+ support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module
+ will be called slip.
+
+config SLHC
+ tristate
+ ---help---
+ This option enables Van Jacobsen serial line header compression
+ routines.
+
+if SLIP
+
+config SLIP_COMPRESSED
+ bool "CSLIP compressed headers"
+ depends on SLIP
+ select SLHC
+ ---help---
+ This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
+ TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
+ on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
+ answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
+ you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
+ <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
+ allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
+ definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
+ <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
+ CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.
+
+config SLIP_SMART
+ bool "Keepalive and linefill"
+ depends on SLIP
+ ---help---
+ Adds additional capabilities to the SLIP driver to support the
+ RELCOM line fill and keepalive monitoring. Ideal on poor quality
+ analogue lines.
+
+config SLIP_MODE_SLIP6
+ bool "Six bit SLIP encapsulation"
+ depends on SLIP
+ ---help---
+ Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
+ networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
+ bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
+ "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
+ the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
+ end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
+ over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.
