-PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS += " iwmmxt "

That will remove support for iwmmxt in the package manager, not a good idea

+require conf/machine/include/tune-iwmmxt.conf

And that is bad for 2 reasons:

1) we still get segfaults due to gcc bugs in iwmmxt
2) it is policy, and thus belong in the distro configs

Packages that benefit from iwmmxt (please show benchmark instead of proof by
vigorous handwaving :)) can be built with iwmmxt support like we do with
mplayer.


+PREFERRED_VERSION_udev = "115"

+MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS = " \
+               sysfsutils \
+               module-init-tools \
+               update-modules \
+               kernel-modules \
+               "

Policy, the images should take care of that. Also RDEPENDING on kernel-modules
is bad form (image build will fail if you build a completely static kernel)
