Very impressive indeed. I run a Raspberry Pi website at the moment, and 
in due course I plan on (attempting) to write a BSP for Yocto and maybe 
do a blog post on setting up quemuarm so people can play with a cross 
compile toolchain and learn how to use yocto in the process.

However, have you seen the kernel sources? Very slapdash in places, 
someone is going to spend a lot of time if they wish to get them 
upstream, they didn't even release them as patches, just as a source 
tree... tut tut.
