The bblayer abstraction makes it where multiple layers can be
configured and used at the same time. Some layers make changes to
support a specific machine, and should not have any affect when other
machines are in use.
For linux-yocto, all bsps are created with a user-config.cfg and
user-config.cfg and user-patches.scc. This means that those files
will be pulled from the first location found, which might correspond
to files customized for a different machine.
Instead of using the names user-config.cfg and user-patches.scc, I
propose a machine specific name be used such as
{{=machine}}user-patches.scc and {{=machine}}user-config.cfg. This
would necessitate that all references changed to these new names,
which would affect the yocto-bsp and yocto-kernel scripts.
With this change, it would be possible to have multiple machine BSPs
searched at the same time and to select which to build against by
using a command like MACHINE=qmeux86 bitbake core-image-sato to
override the default.
Note many of the standard BSPs do not seem to suffer this problem as
they do not use the common files user-config.cfg and user-patches.scc
that the yocto-* scripts depend upon.
Additions by Tom Zanussi:
- renamed user-config.cfg to {{=machine}}-user-config.cfg everywhere
- renamed user-patches.scc to {{=machine}}-user-patches.scc everywhere
- added the user-config/patches SRC_URI items to the qemu -rt kernel recipes

The functionality previously added by these bbappends was already
handled in task-core-tools-profile.bb (now
packagegroup-core-tools-profile.bb), so remove this.

Add a text snippet to the README to say that if emgd-driver-bin is
included in the BSP, LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST needs to be set to for a
successful build.
