[meta-intel] New valleyisland support

[Chang, Rebecca Swee Fun]

Hi all,

We are in progress of making Valley Island BSP available in Dora with kernel 3.10.
Currently we are trying to root cause the i915 graphic driver issue and we will start pushing out for review once it is done.
As of linux-yocto-rt for Valley Island, it is not included in Dylan release. I will need to discuss with the team whether to include in our coming release.

Thanks.
Rebecca
