v3 has been sent for the two patches in this series. With the
kernel-devsrc and other scripts/prepare work in progress, I'm sure
there will be more changes coming. But the dependencies and and
build steps are definitely easier to express in the separate recipe
versus being buried in the various bbclasses.
