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>

+1. Both ir-kbd-i2c and lirc_zilog provide support for RX events for
+the chips supported by lirc_zilog. Before moving lirc_zilog out of staging:
+
+a. ir-kbd-i2c needs a module parameter added to allow the user to tell
+ ir-kbd-i2c to ignore Z8 IR units.
+
+b. lirc_zilog should provide Rx key presses to the rc core like ir-kbd-i2c
+ does.
+
+
+2. lirc_zilog module ref-counting need examination. It has not been
+verified that cdev and lirc_dev will take the proper module references on
+lirc_zilog to prevent removal of lirc_zilog when the /dev/lircN device node
+is open.
+
+(The good news is ref-counting of lirc_zilog internal structures appears to be
+complete. Testing has shown the cx18 module can be unloaded out from under
+irw + lircd + lirc_dev, with the /dev/lirc0 device node open, with no adverse
+effects. The cx18 module could then be reloaded and irw properly began
+receiving button presses again and ir_send worked without error.)
+
+
+3. Bridge drivers, if able, should provide a chip reset() callback
+to lirc_zilog via struct IR_i2c_init_data. cx18 and ivtv already have routines
+to perform Z8 chip resets via GPIO manipulations. This would allow lirc_zilog
+to bring the chip back to normal when it hangs, in the same places the
+original lirc_pvr150 driver code does. This is not strictly needed, so it
+is not required to move lirc_zilog out of staging.
+
+Note: Both lirc_zilog and ir-kbd-i2c support the Zilog Z8 for IR, as programmed
+and installed on Hauppauge products. When working on either module, developers
+must consider at least the following bridge drivers which mention an IR Rx unit
+at address 0x71 (indicative of a Z8):

+ ivtv cx18 hdpvr pvrusb2 bt8xx cx88 saa7134
