[Bug 552] autobuild missing the non-x86 realboard images

[Elizabeth Flanagan]

I wanted to give people a heads up about the addition of a few more
targets to the nightly build and how they'll effect the nightly (and our
overall efficency).

This bug asks for the addition of a few targets:

arm: beagleboard: poky-image-sato, poky-image-minimal, poky-image-sdk
powerpc: mpc8315e-rdb: poky-image-minimal
mips: routerstationpro: poky-image-minimal

I'm going to put these into nightly after the current build is done, but
I want to make people aware of a few things.

First, our build times have been between 26 and 31 hours over the past
month. Adding these builds will increase that time. Depending on how
long this extends the total build time will depend on how big of an
effect it has.

It may also introduce new failures to the nightly which will need to be
dealt with. I know it doesn't mean much for stability since the targets
already are in master and just aren't build built, but what it does mean
is that someone needs to QA these targets.

So, like I said, I'll have this in when our next nightly kicks off. If
folks have any concerns over this, let me know before #141 finishes up.

We've been building and testing all the non-x86 targets
@ Wind River. So they really should be fine (or they
were in the 0.9 timeframe and in my recent (local) builds).

Wind River can continue the QA on these, for this defect
the end goal was to simply get them into the builds so the
binaries would be available and to improve the cross arch
capabilities of the recipes.

Cheers,

Bruce

Hi Beth,
Could you also build sdk images for mpc8315e-rdb and routerstationpro? We will have testing for them from M2.

I have a config file with the requested changes in it. Once build #141
is done, I'm move it over to the main config.
