If the 'patches' you are referring to are something not already exemplified 
in your repository then feel free to email me with requests or suggestions. 
Our work is very developmental so real patches are not desired at this point. 
Currently we have been using all layers as pseudo-patches, i.e inspiration 
for our work in an attempt to ensure our 'bottom rung architecture' layer 
is successful.

I guess that falls into our plan, though remember our layer will  
possibly be more minimalistic than needed by some - i.e will require a
layer on top.

We are planning to model our meta-xilinx similar to meta-intel where the core 
architecture items are in the root directory of meta-xilinx and then there will be 
numerous meta- folders for each supported bsp or bsp group. This is not visible in 
repository currently.
Source code wise (kernel, uboot, qemu) all recipes will firstly be based on Xilinx 
repositories and will select known stable commits.
