The commits in the doc should work - the SRCREV_machine is the last
commit on the edison branch for yocto/standard/common-pc/atom-pc and the
SRCREV_meta is also valid in edison, though in between the time the doc
was written and the time meta-intel was released for edison, the meta
SRCREV was bumped up to a later commit, which is the one I used in my
'cat'ed file.  Either one should be fine.  So no, you can directly use
the SRCREVS in the manual and don't have to change those at all.

Those commit strings identify commits in the linux-yocto_3.0 repo
(http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-3.0/).  The
specific commits used for edison are captured in the linux-yocto_3.0 .bb
and .bbappend files mentioned previously.
