[yocto] bbappend and placing a file into /tmp on the target

[Burton, Ross]

Why do you want to put it into /tmp?  That's typically got a tmpfs mounted
on it at boot time so anything you put in there at rootfs time won't be
visible.

If you're goal is a read-write overlay on a read-only rootfs then look at
something like overlayfs.
