+# linux-yocto-custom.bb:
+#
+#   An example kernel recipe that uses the linux-yocto and oe-core
+#   kernel classes to apply a subset of yocto kernel management to git
+#   managed kernel repositories.
+#
+#   To use linux-yocto-custom in your layer, copy this recipe (optionally
+#   rename it as well) and modify it appropriately for your machine. i.e.:
+#
+#     COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_yourmachine = "yourmachine"
+#
+#   You must also provide a Linux kernel configuration. The most direct
+#   method is to copy your .config to files/defconfig in your layer,
+#   in the same directory as the copy (and rename) of this recipe and
+#   add file://defconfig to your SRC_URI.
+#
+#   To use the yocto kernel tooling to generate a BSP configuration
+#   using modular configuration fragments, see the yocto-bsp and
+#   yocto-kernel tools documentation.
+#
+# Warning:
+#
+#   Building this example without providing a defconfig or BSP
+#   configuration will result in build or boot errors. This is not a
+#   bug.
+#
+#
+# Notes:
+#
+#   patches: patches can be merged into to the source git tree itself,
+#            added via the SRC_URI, or controlled via a BSP
+#            configuration.
+#
+#   defconfig: When a defconfig is provided, the linux-yocto configuration
+#              uses the filename as a trigger to use a 'allnoconfig' baseline
+#              before merging the defconfig into the build. 
+#
+#              If the defconfig file was created with make_savedefconfig, 
+#              not all options are specified, and should be restored with their
+#              defaults, not set to 'n'. To properly expand a defconfig like
+#              this, specify: KCONFIG_MODE="--alldefconfig" in the kernel
+#              recipe.
+#   
+#   example configuration addition:
+#            SRC_URI += "file://smp.cfg"
+#   example patch addition (for kernel v3.4 only):
+#            SRC_URI += "file://0001-linux-version-tweak.patch
+#   example feature addition (for kernel v3.4 only):
+#            SRC_URI += "file://feature.scc"
