Hi,

The headline here is using the improved kernel configuration I've been playing
with, so this is all pending Bruce's kernel push.

[PATCH 1/4] linux-yocto: remove genericx86 support from 3.4

3.4 doesn't actually support genericx86, so remove any mention of it.

This is added to MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS for qemux86. 

MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS does not impact packagegroup-core-boot, and
therefor not core-image-minimal. Perhaps that is the intention?

These 4 variables can be confusing, so I wanted to ask the question and
make sure we are getting the intended behavior here.

It's not essential, no v86d means no uvesafb driver which isn't the
end of the world, and possibly what you want for a minimal image.

it.
