We have modifications to this recipe that I'm working to get into the
original over time.

But I can't hold merging dependent recipes while I wait, so I carry
the changes in meta-cloud-services while that process happens.

The kernel part is only there for completeness sake. We build the
kernel parts from the linux-yocto recipes. Over time, we'll also
be dropping this part .. as Vu knows, I already asked him and am
in the process of removing it.

Again. For completeness sake. We brought in a complete copy of the
HIPOS recipes to work with as part of enabling the backend. That
way I can more easily keep it in sync.
