No, I didn't. 

I've just done this now. It's only after you mentioned it
that I noticed the SRCREV_meta variable in linux-yocto_3.8.bb

While obvious, once stated, it's better to explicitly document
this step in the kernel development guide, so that people remember to
do it: 

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/kernel-dev/kernel-dev.html

BTW, in qemuarma9-standard.scc, for the branch, do I specify
standard/qemuarma9 or just qemuarma9 ?

Best regards,
