Establish the infrastructure to start more comprehensive linux-3.0 testing. With this in place, the populated linux-yocto 3.0 can optionally be built for supported machines. Note: this commit does not change the default for any targets and as such, it would need to be explicitly set as the preferred version to be built. The staged introduction allows some remaining issues to be solved, while making this available. Subsequent commits will be done to switch qemu machines ones they have been validated. If the default for a machine is not this kernel, consider it best effort.

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
