Since John introduced them, it is probably best
if John removes them after testing on his boards.

The result should be something which would use
"target/device/Atmel/arch-avr32/kernel-patches-<version>"
for general purpose AVR32 patches, and if some
board requires something special, they can reside in 
"target/device/Atmel/<board>/kernel-patches"
though I still think that it is better to have a single
repository for AVR32 kernel patches
and any patch which is board specific, should
#ifdef in the resulting source.

Again I think it is best that John gets rid of this.
Were they not moved to a subdirectory so they
are hanging loose at the moment?
