Yocto Linux 3.10.65 Patched for Intel Edison

Intel's Edison kernel patch for Yocto 3.10.17, applied to Yocto 3.10.65.

Intel's Edison device is pretty spiffy, but the provided kernel is absolutely ancient. The Intel patches to Yocto are intended to be applied to version 3.10.17 of the kernel, which was released before the age of dinosaurs.

Unfortunately, the Edison won't boot a kernel without Intel's patches.

This repo contains a Yocto 3.10 kernel, version 3.10.65, with the Intel Edison patch applied. Additional fixes described below have also been applied.

Intel Edison kernel patch taken from: edison-GPL_LGPL-sources-ww18-15/i586-poky-linux/linux-yocto-3.10.17+gitAUTOINC+6ad20f049a_c03195ed6e-r0/upstream_to_edison.patch

Intel Edison default kernel config taken from: edison-GPL_LGPL-sources-ww18-15/i586-poky-linux/linux-yocto-3.10.17+gitAUTOINC+6ad20f049a_c03195ed6e-r0/defconfig (default kernel config modified to use bzip2 instead of gzip compression, since that's what u-boot wants)
