Kevin/Paul:

I notice a number of patches in your branches which shouldn't be needed
if we use the two patches at the head of: 

http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/log/?h=rpurdie/tweaks2

Could you please test using those two changes, or let me know if those
changes cause problems.

Richard
