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>

+config DCB
+ bool "Data Center Bridging support"
+ default n
+ ---help---
+ This enables support for configuring Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+ features on DCB capable Ethernet adapters via rtnetlink. Say 'Y'
+ if you have a DCB capable Ethernet adapter which supports this
+ interface and you are connected to a DCB capable switch.
+
+ DCB is a collection of Ethernet enhancements which allow DCB capable
+ NICs and switches to support network traffic with differing
+ requirements (highly reliable, no drops vs. best effort vs. low
+ latency) to co-exist on Ethernet.
+
+ DCB features include:
+ Enhanced Transmission Selection (aka Priority Grouping) - provides a
+ framework for assigning bandwidth guarantees to traffic classes.
+ Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) - a MAC control pause frame which
+ works at the granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the
+ link (802.3x).
+
+ If unsure, say N.
