[poky] kernel type naming and package version conflicts

I believe I've identified why my preempt_rt kernel recipes are failing
to build. The do_package_write_ipk is complaining about invalid
characters in the file name - specifically:
kernel-2.6.34.7-rt-yocto-preempt_rt
*** Error: Package name contains illegal characters, (other than
[a-z0-9.+-])
Note the "_" in preempt_rt.
This name appears to be generated in part from the following assignment:
LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE = "preempt_rt"
LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION ?= "-yocto-${LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE}"
Changing this to the following allows the build to succeed without error
(replacing _ with -).
LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION ?= "-yocto-preempt-rt"
As I see it we have two options, we can rewrite linux-yocto kernel
branches for use in bitbake package names (replacing _ with -), or we
can forbid the use of _ in the linux-yocto git branches. Rather than
clutter up the recipes with string manipulators, I would prefer the
latter option.
Bruce, Tom, do you have an opinion?
