[linux-yocto] [PATCH] meta: add genericx86 BSP

[Darren Hart]

This is not being added, we're using common-pc. What is pending is my
update to the common-pc and common-pc-64 BSPs which Paul G. provided
some feedback for and I updated the branch which is ready to be pulled
here:

git://git.yoctoproject.org/linux-yocto-contrib dvhart/3.10/meta
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-contrib/log/?h=dvhart/3.10/meta

This should be all that is outstanding for genericx86/common-pc in
linux-yocto currently.
