This message "This depends on host package ..." should not be part of
the commit log. As I suggested earlier, just include Floris Bos patch
in your patch set, it will be easier.

Some more comments below.

Since it's a cubieboard defconfig, what about using cubieboard here?

This script is added in your second patch, so taken alone, your first
patch doesn't work. I think you should merge both of your patches,
since they really do one thing: add support for the Cubieboard.

Ok. We also generally want to lock down a certain kernel headers
version. So you should add:

# Lock down headers to avoid breaking with new defaults
BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_VERSION=y
BR2_DEFAULT_KERNEL_VERSION="3.8.1"

below your architecture definition. See armadeus_apf28_defconfig for
example.

Thanks,

Thomas
