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>

+# Timer Interrupt Frequency Configuration

+choice
+ prompt "Timer frequency"
+ default HZ_250
+ help
+ Allows the configuration of the timer frequency. It is customary
+ to have the timer interrupt run at 1000 Hz but 100 Hz may be more
+ beneficial for servers and NUMA systems that do not need to have
+ a fast response for user interaction and that may experience bus
+ contention and cacheline bounces as a result of timer interrupts.
+ Note that the timer interrupt occurs on each processor in an SMP
+ environment leading to NR_CPUS * HZ number of timer interrupts
+ per second.
+
+
+ config HZ_100
+ bool "100 HZ"
+ help
+ 100 Hz is a typical choice for servers, SMP and NUMA systems
+ with lots of processors that may show reduced performance if
+ too many timer interrupts are occurring.
+
+ config HZ_250
+ bool "250 HZ"
+ help
+ 250 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
+ while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
+ on SMP and NUMA systems. If you are going to be using NTSC video
+ or multimedia, selected 300Hz instead.
+
+ config HZ_300
+ bool "300 HZ"
+ help
+ 300 Hz is a good compromise choice allowing server performance
+ while also showing good interactive responsiveness even
+ on SMP and NUMA systems and exactly dividing by both PAL and
+ NTSC frame rates for video and multimedia work.
+
+ config HZ_1000
+ bool "1000 HZ"
+ help
+ 1000 Hz is the preferred choice for desktop systems and other
+ systems requiring fast interactive responses to events.
