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>

+ * This algorithm is based on the paper "Division by Invariant

+ *
+ * The assembler implementation from Agner Fog, which this code is
+ * based on, can be found here:
+ * http://www.agner.org/optimize/asmlib.zip
+ *
+ * This optimization for A/B is helpful if the divisor B is mostly
+ * runtime invariant. The reciprocal of B is calculated in the
+ * slow-path with reciprocal_value(). The fast-path can then just use
+ * a much faster multiplication operation with a variable dividend A
+ * to calculate the division A/B.
