The main thing worrying me about these now is the size of the patches.
I'd prefer not to add them into the main repository since they then
become part of history and increase the repo size. I'd really therefore
like to host the patches somewhere and then point SRC_URI at them.

Is that something linaro can do or should we find somewhere on the
yoctoproject.org infrastructure?
