To finish my thought.. 

With this new layout (SRCREV in recipe) it will be much easier to bump
SRCREV ie only for linux-ixp4xx_2.6.29.bb (overwritting shared SRCREV
from linux-ixp4xx.inc after its include), but be aware that if you put
SRCREV_pn-linux-ixp4xx in distro config you will also overwrite this
locally bumped SRCREV which can be confusing a bit.
