[OE-core] [PATCH 0/2] linux-yocto: streamlined repository support + fixes

[Bruce Ashfield]

Richard/Saul,

This pull requests represents some changes that I've been running here
for the past 1.5 months. It is a re-working of the tools and recipes to
allow more repository types to support the kern tools (branching and
fragments). 

It's one largish patch that consolidates recipe updates, tool changes
and streamlining of the patching phase.

This is step one, there are several more to follow after this merges
into the tree. Namely:
  
  - updated documents on what an inheriting recipe needs to do
  - movement of the linux-yocto-custom recipe from meta-kernel-dev
    to somewhere more visible
  - updates to meta-kernel-dev to fix those recipes
  - removal of the 2.6.37 recipe and introduction of the 3.4 kernel
    recipe
  - additional streamlining of the tools (more code deleted!).

I've converted the linux-yocto* recipes (except for 2.6.37, since I'll be
removing it shortly) and have built 3.0, 3.2 and -dev kernels for all the
boards I can. It's ready to go, but can also use a run through a 
nightly build before it merged (the changes were a bit tricky with a lot
of existing use cases to ensure were not broken).

FYI: I stacked this on top of my last pull request, let me know if this
needs to be rebased.

Cheers,

Bruce
