.dev?

Because it takes away choice from kernel recipe maintainers and it's
very non-OE for its hardcoding and non-extensibility.

If we want it in .dev as well, it will probable something like:


linux*.inc:
sed -e <foo> \
~    -e <bar> \
~    ${DISTRO_KERNEL_MANGLE} \
~    ${MACHINE_KERNEL_MANGLE} \

echo CONFIG_FOO=y \
~     ${DISTRO_KERNEL_CONFIG} \
~     ${MACHINE_KERNEL_MANGLE} \

angstrom-<version>.conf:
${DISTRO_KERNEL_MANGLE} ?= "-e /CONFIG_FUSE/d"
${DISTRO_KERNEL_CONFIG} ?= "CONFIG_FUSE=m"

leet-machine.conf:
${MACHINE_KERNEL_MANGLE} = "-e /LEET_DRIVER/d"
${MACHINE_KERNEL_MANGLE} = "LEET_DRIVER=y"

And I'm not sure that will be acceptible either, but I'm currently too
short on time to come up with a proposal, test it and RFC it.

regards,

Koen
