[PATCH 0/4] linux-yocto: consolidated kernel pull request

[Bruce Ashfield]

Richard/Saul,

Here's a consolidated kernel pull request that fixes a series
of bugs that have been around for a while and fixes some of the
remaining issues from the -rt work that completed last week.

Darren: I also updated the -rt source revs and recipe with some
streamlining that builds on top of changse that merged last week.

The patches have the details of the bugs and fixes.

[PATCH 1/4] kern-tools: allow flexible branch points

[Bruce Ashfield]

Updating the SRCREV to pickup a series of changes to the
kern-tools that allow more flexible creation of trees from
scratch. This functionality is not used by the normal
kernel build process and has no impact on existing builds.

[PATCH 2/4] linux-yocto-rt: update qemuppc support and streamline variables

[Bruce Ashfield]

Fixes [YOCTO #1391]
Fixes [YOCTO #1389]

qemuppc must have a dedicated branch for -rt support, since it has
board specific patches that are not suitable for a common location.
This fixes the boot by propagating some common fixes and by syncing
to the latest meta-configuration.

There are some variables that are now in linux-yocto.inc and need not
be defined by the kernel recipe itself, so we can safely remove them
with no impact on the build.

[PATCH 3/4] linux-yocto: update machines and default configuration

[Bruce Ashfield]

Fixes [YOCTO: #686]

During routine maintenance some base changes were re-wound on
the common branches. All machines still had these changes, but
any new machine branched from the common base would miss those
changes. This update restores those commits to the standard branch
and merges them out to all child branches.

The meta branch update adds a configuration item to support
live image booting on qemux86.

This patch doesn't seem to have looped around ... If it hasn't arrived
by tonight, I can
resend.

I took the first two of these. The other two didn't apply and I didn't
feel happy taking them. I tried to look at the git tree above and I
couldn't see the patches there...

Really ? That strange .. how could they not apply, they were stacked
and pushed on top of an up to date master. Which part rejected ?

I'll re-push and see what's up.

Heh. Operator error.  I did this:

   git push ssh://git@git.pokylinux.org/poky-contrib kernel-oe:kernel-oe

and generated the pull request against zedd/kernel-oe, which is
largely fine, but
I had one more patch in the stack.

I've now pushed to zedd/kernel-oe and everything is there. Let me know if you
want anything resent.

The following changes since commit f8cddd74574756174a82c856cecdeb6f83b9dea5:
