[oe] RFC: Fix for bug 1744 and some restructuring of omap kernel bb files.

[Philip Balister]

Is there any reason why you marked the linux-omap1_2.6.22 with 
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE = "-1" and removed the git kernels 
DEFAULT_PREFERENCE="-1"? I am guessing these are testing artifacts and 
am setting the git kernel to -1 and removing the DEFAULT_PREFERENCE from 
2.6.22.

Other than that, the patch looks good.
