documentation/dev-manual: Changed 2.6.37 to 3.0 for 1.1 release.

Browse Source 
Bruce Ashfield's review comments indicated that we will be using
linux-yocto-3.0 and not linux-yocto-2.6.37.  So I am putting these
changes in to anticipate the 1.1 release.

(From yocto-docs rev: ecbe1c90c5aa65b2dde77ba6094b5956e37d061d)
