[yocto] Strange build warning

[Gary Thomas]

Building 'bitbake core-image-sato' from scratch:
OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.13.3"
TARGET_ARCH       = "i586"
TARGET_OS         = "linux"
MACHINE           = "qemux86"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.0+snapshot-20110826"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "m32 i586"
TARGET_FPU        = ""
meta
meta-yocto        = "master:6c2b7beac3cd23ed44bd3e195c6360a0932876bf"

I saw this warning:
=======================================================
This BSP sets 1 invalid/obsolete kernel options.
These config options are not offered anywhere within this kernel.
The full list can be found in your workspace at:
/local/pc_poky/tmp/work/atom_pc-poky-linux/linux-yocto-3.0.3+git1+5b535279e61197cb194bb2dfceb8b7a04128387c_1+ead7d8334e4c075906d029789333f43e54f6257a-r1/linux/meta/cfg/yocto/standard/common-pc/atom-pc/invalid.cfg

This BSP sets 11 kernel options that are possibly non-hardware related.
The full list can be found in your workspace at:
/local/pc_poky/tmp/work/atom_pc-poky-linux/linux-yocto-3.0.3+git1+5b535279e61197cb194bb2dfceb8b7a04128387c_1+ead7d8334e4c075906d029789333f43e54f6257a-r1/linux/meta/cfg/yocto/standard/common-pc/atom-pc/specified_non_hdw.cfg

WARNING: There were 88 hardware options requested that do not
          have a corresponding value present in the final ".config" file.
          This probably means you aren't getting the config you wanted.
The full list can be found in your workspace at:
/local/pc_poky/tmp/work/atom_pc-poky-linux/linux-yocto-3.0.3+git1+5b535279e61197cb194bb2dfceb8b7a04128387c_1+ead7d8334e4c075906d029789333f43e54f6257a-r1/linux/meta/cfg/yocto/standard/common-pc/atom-pc/mismatch.cfg
========================================================
along with a note that the build was pausing for a few seconds so I
would notice the error/warning.

Is this important?  If not, why scare me like this?
