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>

+Things to be done.
+
+0. Fix the bugs (see BUGS-parport).
+
+1. Proper documentation.
+
+2. A better lp.c:
+
+ a) ECP support would be nice. This can only work if both the port and
+ the printer support it.
+
+ b) Handle status readback automatically. IEEE1284 printers can post status
+ bits when they have something to say. We should read out and deal
+ with (maybe just log) whatever the printer wants to tell the world.
+
+3. Support more hardware (eg m68k, Sun bpp).
+
+4. A better PLIP (make use of bidirectional/ECP/EPP ports).
