Makes sense to me.  Also, the same comment would apply to the main poky
repo as well.

No, not strictly necessary, but assuming you're using these instructions
to create a new BSP, definitely desirable.

I think that's right.

Well, this example seems to assume you want to base it on the atom-pc
branch, so I guess we should use the value for that branch in meta-yocto
(meta-yocto/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend).  The meta
branch SRCREV should be inherited from the main recipe
(meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto_3.0.bb) which looks like it
matches the current value and doesn't need to be changed.

Or at least that's what I'm building now.  I'll post the full transcript
assuming I get a good build out of it...
