Indeed, I've been in touch with Raphael who has also attended the
hackfest. We have decided to go on with his approach, I will test those
recipes in different hardware and add some missing bits there were
before in meta-browser.

I've tested a rpi3-32 image and I've successfully built an armv8 image
for R-Car gen3, which I still have to test. So far I had to add a couple
of backports related with the toolchain they use in Renesas BSPs.

I'll keep you informed of the progress :)
