[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 02/11] toaster: configuration Provide machine help text

From: Belen Barros Pena <belen.barros.pena at linux.intel.com>

When you change the machine from the project configuration page, you get
some useful suggestions as you start typing a machine name. However, the
suggestions only include machines provided by the layers added to your
project. This is not necessarily clear from the design (yes, it should
be improved), which means you might be looking for a machine, not see it
in the suggestions, and assume the machine is not supported by
OpenEmbedded.

Since we are in no position to change the design of this page right now,
add some explanatory help text to address the situation.
