[oe] Linux kernel recipes

Some time ago I added packages/linux/linux_2.6.19.bb (currently 
linux_2.6.20.bb) as some kind of generic Linux kernel recipe. Currently 
it is used for Progear and Simpad targets.

Today we got linux-x86_2.6.20.bb which differ in just one thing.. NAME. It 
does not contain any patches - just source archive and kernel 
configuration file. Can it be merged into linux_2.6.20.bb?

We have few other 2.6.20 recipes but they are more machine specific 
(efika, ixp4xx, dht-walnut).

Second thing is list of kernels. We have 149 files in packages/linux/ - 
some targets have few kernels there - can we get rid of not used ones? 
Many machines want 1-2 kernels (stable one and development one) so why we 
have 4-6 kernels for one machine? Can this be cleared in some way?
