[oe] Building a rootfs, without building a kernel

[Philip Balister]

I am trying to build a powerpc root file system for a xilinx ml403 
board. Since we do not have a working kernel build for this machine, I 
tried commenting out the PREFERRED_PROVIDER for virtual/linux. The build 
then tries to build linux-rt. I tried ASSUME_PROVIDED for the kernel 
when the preferred provider is not commented out and it still tries to 
build the kernel.

Looking at the dependency graphs seems to suggest the requirement comes 
from the do_rootfs task.

Does anyone know how to build an image, without building a kernel for a 
machine?
