I made some updates to the 3.4.4 section according to Bruce Ashfield's
feedback. I also added a new section 3.4.5 (Creating a BSP Based on an
Existing Similar BSP Without a Local Kernel Repository).

Added text after the sample bbappend file stating that the user needs
to update the KSRC assignment statement and also remove its comment.
Also they have to remove the comment from the SRC_URI line.
Changed the bitbake command in step 4 to use the linux-yocto-stable
file rather than the linux-yocto file.

Changed 'linux-yocto_git.bbappend' to 'linux-yocto-stable_git.bbappend'
in step 3 just before the code example. This makes the code consistent
with the rest of the example supporting the 2.6.34 kernel.

Step one states that the linux-yocto_git.bbappend file is left. This
file is associated with distro 2.6.37 kernel and the rest of the
example is associated with the 2.6.34 kernel. So, I changed the
step to indicate that the directory is left with a linux-yocto-stable_git.bbappend
file.

These changes implemented Bruce Ashfield's next round of changes to the
section 4.3.3 example.

In section 4.3.3 step 2 there was a directory 'build/donf/bblayers.conf'.
I fixed the typo to 'build/conf/bblayers.conf'.

The example used to show how to condense and merge two BSPs into a second
SCM used a non-existant machine (cav_ebt5800-standard). I replaced this
machine with 'common_pc_64-standard, which is a real machine.

[BUGID# 597] - After talking with Bruce Ashfield the kernel documentation
needs to support the 2.6.34 disribution. So, the 'common-pc-standard'
strings need to be changed back to 'common_pc-standard'. This fix restores
them.

Updated the figure to not use "preempt_rt". Now uses "preempt-rt".

Feedback indicated by Dave suggested getting rid of this. So I commented out the text around it and modified the reminder text so it did not reference a figure.

I made this file similar to the bsp.xml file so that it would build into
a PDF file. It was throwing an error because of the imagedata tag

Code now calls a new file called kernel-manual.xml that in turn
includes the yocto-project-kernel-manual.xml file. This is in line

this section is based on an email that Bruce Ashfield sent me. It replaces
what was in there in the form of sub-sections for creating a new BSP,
cloning one and bsp bootstrapping.
I needed more demarcation for these section titles. They were not visually
different enough.

This is the first draft of the Yocto Project Kernel manual. The
manual consists of two sections: concepts and a practical section that
has examples. It is based of Bruce Ashfield's kernel theory paper.
This first draft has been re-written and organized through the
concepts section. The remainder was just placed in as-is due to
time constraints for getting some kernel documentation up on the website.
The manual still needs scrubbing and organization in the latter half.
