My first attempt to build cedartrail-nopvr finds that meta-intel has an
unmatched mesa_9.1.3.bbappend, but I suppose I can configure it to ignore
that since I'm not building graphics. However, meta-cedartrail contains an
unmatched linux-yocto_3.0.bbappend and linux-yocto-rt_3.0.bbappend. I don't
know how to fix that.
