No need to extend FILESPATHPKG being we keep the patches in the
kernel-specific dirs: e.g. /linux-2.6.34 and /linux-kexecboot-2.6.34

I misunderstand perhaps: this is in each recipe (e.g.
linux-kexecboot_2.6.34.bb). Do you mean moving it in
linux-kexecboot.inc?

Sorry, not sure about the question.

P.S: : I feel sorry for the 400 files of the linux-kexecboot merge.
While I'm working on zaurus in order to remove as many recipes as
possible, I hope the same happens for omap3 and qemu people.
Compatibility for those machines was added long ago and the kernels
became very old.
If I don't see any change I propose to move many linux-kexecboot
recipes to obsolete.
