After suffering through two rounds of the entire kernel being fetched,
I've confirmed that the bbappend I've been using works for the reference
BSPs on 3.14.

As I mentioned before, my plan was to leave the untested reference BSPs
on 3.10 (particularly the FSL board) and update them once I get confirmation
that they work with 3.14.

I hadn't planned on adding the linux-yocto-dev.bbappend to meta-yocto-bsps,
since the hardware reference boards (unlike qemu) have a greater carrying
cost in terms of testing. So I keep that bbappend slightly out of
sight. At this point, it shouldn't be needed since all the boards
that support 3.14, set that explicitly in their config files.

As we rambled on in the thread, I was looking for a parking lot for
the retiring BSPs that work in 1.6, with the 3.10 kernel, but are not
the first choice. I won't fight to hard from it, and we can simply
pull them out of the 3.10 bbappend if there's no better option.

Attached is the bbappend that I used for testing. If it matches yours
we are good to go.
