Isn't PV="4.0.0" < PV="4.0.0beta5"?

Then it would be better to stay with 3.9.2+4.0.0beta* sheme for easy
upgrade path to 4.0.0 release.

at least that's the reason why I have ie:
KERNEL_RELEASE = "2.6.36-rc7"
OLD_KERNEL_RELEASE = "2.6.35"
PV = "${OLD_KERNEL_RELEASE}+${KERNEL_RELEASE}+gitr${SRCPV}"
