Numbering system

Make numbering system with reference to the version of the kernel.

linux-4.4.2-rt1 First -RT in 4.4.2
....
linux-4.4.2-rt6 Last -RT in 4.4.2
linux-4.4.3-rt1 First -RT in 4.4.3
linux-4.4.3-rt2
....
linux-4.4.4-rt1 First -RT in 4.4.4
...

Where is diff beetween 4.4.3-rt6, 4.4.3-rt7, 4.4.3-rt8?

We've done the consecutive numbering scheme since rt started, so why should we
change that?

You mean 4.4.1-rt6 4.4.2-rt7 and 4.4.3-rt8, right?

git diff v4.4.1-rt6..4.4.2-rt7
git diff v4.4.2-rt7..4.4.3-rt8

We simply don't upload diffs for the stable kernel updates which are not
changing the RT code.

Because the senior ranks in kernel version numbering, have a positional system.
After version 4.4.3 can't get version 4.5.4, only 4.5.0


# cat Makefile

VERSION = 4
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 3
EXTRAVERSION = here must be non mainline numbering: -rt1, -rt2, etc.
...

If SUBLEVEL changed, then EXTRAVERSION must be set to zero or one.
Like a 8,9,10,11,... 20, 21, 22.

RT is not using EXTRAVERSION. It's using localversion and it's not going to
change its numbering scheme after 12 years just because.
