[yocto] linux-libc-headers 2.6.37

We currently build at least some MACHINES with 2.6.37 of
linux-libc-headers. This can cause problems for newer packages (such as
connman) that expect more recent headers (if_alg.h is missing prior to
2.6.39). While the proper fix is to ensure these packages can cope with
older headers, for MACHINES shipping 3.0+ kernels, seems to me we should
be using the linux-libc-headers matching the kernels. I know this has
come up in the past, but I don't recall if we have clearly stated and
justified what our policy is here.

Any thoughts on this?
