[yocto] i think the meta-intel "BSP layer" needs to be clarified in BSP guide

  i think it would be useful if the BSP guide was expanded just a bit
to make it much clearer that the alleged meta-intel "BSP layer" (since
that's how it's referred to) is not *really* a full BSP layer but an
umbrella over multiple intel-based BSP layers, with some common
content.

  it's obviously useful to use a real example to explain how a BSP
layer works, but it would have been more informative if the guide had
used a truly standalone layer, *then* perhaps segued nicely into
meta-layers like meta-intel and meta-ti, etc.

  as it is, i think the current explanation is a bit awkward given
that the crownbay layer.conf file is explained before the first
mention of the meta-intel layer.  a simple solution might be a
prominent <note> before all that starts, emphasizing how what follows
is a little bit different since it involves *two* layers, not just
one.  then it would make much more sense.

  thoughts?
