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>

+The cpupower package consists of the following elements:
+
+requirements
+------------
+
+On x86 pciutils is needed at runtime (-lpci).
+For compilation pciutils-devel (pci/pci.h) and a gcc version
+providing cpuid.h is needed.
+For both it's not explicitly checked for (yet).
+
+
+libcpupower
+----------
+
+"libcpupower" is a library which offers a unified access method for userspace
+tools and programs to the cpufreq core and drivers in the Linux kernel. This
+allows for code reduction in userspace tools, a clean implementation of
+the interaction to the cpufreq core, and support for both the sysfs and proc
+interfaces [depending on configuration, see below].
+
+
+compilation and installation
+----------------------------
+
+make
+su
+make install
+
+should suffice on most systems. It builds libcpupower to put in
+/usr/lib; cpupower, cpufreq-bench_plot.sh to put in /usr/bin; and
+cpufreq-bench to put in /usr/sbin. If you want to set up the paths
+differently and/or want to configure the package to your specific
+needs, you need to open "Makefile" with an editor of your choice and
+edit the block marked CONFIGURATION.
+
+
+THANKS
+------
+Many thanks to Mattia Dongili who wrote the autotoolization and
+libtoolization, the manpages and the italian language file for cpupower;
+to Dave Jones for his feedback and his dump_psb tool; to Bruno Ducrot for his
+powernow-k8-decode and intel_gsic tools as well as the french language file;
+and to various others commenting on the previous (pre-)releases of
+cpupower.
