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>

+/// Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation functions
+/// like kmalloc, kzalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc.
+///
+//# This makes an effort to find cases of casting of values returned by
+//# kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
+//# kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
+//# the casting as it is not required. The result in the patch case may
+//#need some reformatting.
