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>

+TODO:
+ - move firmware loading to request_firmware()
+ - remove direct memory access of structures
+ - any remaining sparse and checkpatch.pl warnings
+
+ - use net_device_ops
+ - use dev->stats rather than adapter->stats
+ - don't cast netdev_priv it is already void
+ - GET RID OF MACROS
+ - work on all architectures
+ - without CONFIG_X86_64 confusion
+ - do 64 bit correctly
+ - don't depend on order of union
+ - get rid of ASSERT(), use BUG() instead but only where necessary
+ looks like most aren't really useful
+ - no new SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl allowed
+ - don't use module_param for configuring interrupt mitigation
+ use ethtool instead
+ - reorder code to elminate use of forward declarations
+ - don't keep private linked list of drivers.
+ - use PCI_DEVICE()
+ - do ethtool correctly using ethtool_ops
+ - NAPI?
+ - wasted overhead of extra stats
+ - state variables for things that are
+ easily available and shouldn't be kept in card structure, cardnum, ...
+ slotnumber, events, ...
+ - get rid of slic_spinlock wrapper
+ - volatile == bad design => bad code
+ - locking too fine grained, not designed just throw more locks
+ at problem
