Ah, very good!  Yes, good to know information.  I'm coming from
OE-Angstrom/Arago and so far most things have been pretty familiar but
it always helps to know how it fits together.  I need to make several
BSP's for TI processors and this helps me understand things a bit
better.

I still have an old checkout that has 2.6.37 so I might play with that
more.  I had working images there I didn't want to mess up (edison).
