linux-yocto: consolidated update

Richard/Saul,

Here's a consolidated update that I've had under test in one way or another for 3 weeks now. Tom Z and others have also been using parts of this for their work, so it has seen a reasonably wide set of testers.

This series further streamlines working with linux-yocto* based recipes/repositories by breaking the last branch based triggers in the tooling. Branches were the most important piece of information when working with the tools and a linux-yocto repository, but this has now been generalized, and BSP descriptions (among other things) are now found by MACHINE and kernel type only.

With this, KBRANCH now becomes what it was supposed to be, an human readible indication of the branch that is supposed to be built, and one that the kern-tools will validate. If that branch is not validated, an error is thrown. If the default branch is left as-is, then the in-tree description leaves you on the proper branch and all is well.

I also have a collection of bug fixes to the tools, including support for having a meta branch not called 'meta'.

I'd recommend that this go through some AB tests, and I'll be around if there's a corner case that I managed to miss.

Cheers,

Bruce

Bruce Ashfield (4):
linux-yocto: make KBRANCH the exception and not the rule linux-yocto/3.4: remove explicit KBRANCH designations
linux-yocto: explicitly export KMETA to scripts
kern-tools: fixes (branching,buildall) + cleanups (checkpoint,cleaner)
