Yocto style recipes provide support for application of kernel
configuration fragments which is achieved with this change.
For further details see the Yocto Linux Kernel Development Manual
ref: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/kernel-dev/kernel-dev.html
In addition .bb files are simplified to take a SRCBRANCH which is
used by the SRC_URI set in linux-raspberrypi.inc and together with
the existing SRCREV define a checkout from the linux-raspberrypi
git repository.
A default configuration, defconfig, is provided as a baseline.
This is generated from bcmrpi_defconfig, as used in the existing
recipes, and so configuration options should be the same.
To change the kernel configuration a new configuration fragment
may be generated, as explained in the kernel development documentation
above, and this file then added to the SRC_URI via a .bbappend.
Added some minor refactoring and removed some useless code.

When building against newer yocto project releases below failure
occurs.
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_configure
| NOTE: make oldconfig
| make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'. Stop.
| ERROR: oe_runmake failed
| WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command.
| ERROR: Function failed: do_configure
Fix this by trying to adapt more of the standard mechanism
that exists in yocto, in order to build "custom kernels".

I was having intermittent i2c issues on the device until I applied this kernel patch
which I found online.
