[OE-core] [RFC PATCH 0/5] Linux 3.0 build support

[Anders Darander]

This work is unfinished and incomplete...
It is published in its current form both to get feedback, but also to aid
anyone else who is working on 3.0-support. If some of the patches are found to
be OK, it's fine to cherrypick them.

The kernel-related classes has been modified to build a 3.0 kernel. The
patches has been simplified by removing support for the 2.4-series. (The
latter was suggested in an older mail thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org/msg02682.html
).

The patches has been tested on linux-yocto_2.6.37 and a hacked version using
the linux-yocto-dev repository (using a 3.0-rcX). The latest versions has only
been built for qemuarm, prior iterations has also been built for qemux86.

Finally, no work has been done on the libc-linux-headers classes and recipes.
