-If you have a patch, or a small series of patches, to apply to the Linux kernel
-source, you can do so just as you would with any other recipe. You first copy
-the patches to the path added to FILESEXTRAPATHS in the bbappend file as
-described in 2.2 and then reference them in the SRC_URI.
-
-For example, you can apply a three patch series by adding the following lines to
-your linux-yocto bbappend file in your layer:
-
-	SRC_URI += "file://0001-first-change.patch"
-	SRC_URI += "file://0002-first-change.patch"
-	SRC_URI += "file://0003-first-change.patch"
-
-At the next build, bitbake will detect the change in the recipe and fetch and
-apply the patches before rebuilding the Linux kernel.
