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>

+
+STATUS:
+
+o The core setup works within limits.
+o The scsi layer seems to almost work.
+ I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
+o The block OSM is mostly functional
+o LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.
+
+TO DO:
+
+General:
+o Provide hidden address space if asked
+o Long term message flow control
+o PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
+o Push FAIL handling into the core
+o DDM control interfaces for module load etc
+o Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)
+
+Block:
+o Multiple major numbers
+o Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
+o Power management
+o Finish Media changers
+
+SCSI:
+o Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses
+
+Lan:
+o Performance tuning
+o Test Fibre Channel code
+
+Tape:
+o Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
+ (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
