Related to that: if for some reason you add a linux-myleetmachine.bb 
recipe instead of extending existing kernel recipes, please set 
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "myleetmachine" inside that recipe.
The same goes for other machine specific recipes (e.g. omapfbplay_git.bb 
should have COMPATIBLE_MACHINE set to all omap3 boards).
