Following Arnout comments, here's a patchset that first unifies
the Minnowboard board support, and then adds a "graphics &
audio, yet minimum" defconfig.

The idea with this graphical_defconfig is to provide an X-based
system, with ALSA audio and OpenGL enabled, at its minimum
expression.

Regarding the Minnowboard board support unification, it's worth
mentioning that it's possible to use the same kernel on both.
However, a couple reasons made me retain the current choices:

  * It is desirable to use upstream, when possible. Hence,
    we use upstream v4.4 for the Minnowboard MAX.

  * The original Minnowboard has some GPIO keys that are
    not supported upstream. Using out-of-tree patches sucks
    because we need to carry them over when bumping, so I
    decided to just stick with the v3.8 yocto kernel.

There's a changelog on each patch, with some more detailed changes.
