OK, so what you did was successfully build a minimal image from the BSP
tarball for x86-64, but that wasn't using a BSP generated from
yocto-bsp, since you haven't been able to successfully generate a BSP
using yocto-bsp yet.  If that's not the case please clarify, otherwise
I'll try what you're doing using the denzil tarball...
