linux-yocto: consolidated pull request

Richard/Saul,

I'm addressing a couple of bugs in this pull request.

Bug #685: for the mpc8315e-rdb boot issue. I'm going to revisit this one, since changing the entry point shouldn't be making a difference to this board's boot (by me looking at th code), but it does seem to fix the problem according to the reporter.

Bug #692: kernel configuration audit information

After configuration of the kernel and audit is performed, and has been for some time. This updates it to work with the 2.6.37 kernel and makes the output visible. You now get something like this:

------------------------
NOTE: package linux-yocto-2.6.37+git0+e8b8c1ae44932835f4f79e77180d3ce5e4b1ec99_0+a9d833fda90e2f1257888a97e092135610b5f259-r15: task do_kernel_configcheck: Started
NOTE: validating kernel configuration
The following Kconfig files no longer exist in this tree:
drivers/ieee1394/Kconfig
drivers/media/video/zc0301/Kconfig

This BSP sets 1 invalid/obsolete kernel options.
These config options are not offered anywhere within this kernel.
The full list can be found in your workspace at:
/home/bruce/poky/build/tmp/work/qemux86-poky-linux/linux-yocto-2.6.37+git0+e8b8c1ae44932835f4f79e77180d3ce5e4b1ec99_0+a9d833fda90e2f1257888a97e092135610b5f259-r15/linux/meta/cfg/yocto/standard/common-pc/invalid.cfg

This BSP sets 6 kernel options that are possibly non-hardware related.
The full list can be found in your workspace at:
/home/bruce/poky/build/tmp/work/qemux86-poky-linux/linux-yocto-2.6.37+git0+e8b8c1ae44932835f4f79e77180d3ce5e4b1ec99_0+a9d833fda90e2f1257888a97e092135610b5f259-r15/linux/meta/cfg/yocto/standard/common-pc/specified_non_hdw.cfg

WARNING: There were 2 hardware options requested that do not
have a corresponding value present in the final ".config" file.
This probably means you aren't getting the config you wanted.

Waiting a second to make sure you get a chance to see this...
NOTE: package linux-yocto-2.6.37+git0+e8b8c1ae44932835f4f79e77180d3ce5e4b1ec99_0+a9d833fda90e2f1257888a97e092135610b5f259-r15: task do_kernel_configcheck: Succeeded
------------------------

This is actually telling us something useful, and actually is showing me something that need to be fixed in the Kconfig classification for 2.6.37 .. so it has already proven to be useful data to expose to the user!
