Set the PREFERRED_VERSION for the Linux kernel to 3.0.35.  Later kernel
recipes may be used by edting the file conf/machine/include/wandboard.inc
*editing*

Is it important to say why would I want to use the old version?

Daiane

The intent of this patch is to preserve the use of the stable kernel once a later, but unstable, kernel recipe is introduced.  With this patch I also sent a patch for 3.10.17_beta for people to start playing with on Wandboard.  I wouldn't want that to be the preferred version, but if developers want to start with it then they can do so by uncommenting the line in the machine/conf file.

What Daiane meant to say is it is important to explain it in the commit log ;-)
Not very important, but I like to add more information than strictly necessary because these commit logs are a form of documentation.  This comment is probably better suited to be in the patch adding 3.10.17_beta, so I can rework the commit logs and send a V2.
