This string is now being presented as "bsp_root_name" in the YP
manual set. A BSP name is essentially "meta-bsp_root_name".
It was being presented in the manual set as "meta-bsp_name",
which is not technically correct.

Fixed the way we refer to a BSP name. It is really
"meta-<bsp_root_name>" rather than "meta-<bsp_name>". The
name is the whole string and not just the root name.
Also added a tip on ordering the layers in the BBLAYERS
variable in the bblayers.conf file. Order is important.

Reality dictates that the YP does not treat layer naming consistently.
Layers are talked about as the "meta-whatever" layer and never the
"whatever" layer. However, the tooling sometimes appends or uses
just the "whatever" part of the layer name. A good example is the
meta-yocto-bsp configuration file. All the variables in there use
just the root name of a layer's name. In the manuals, I had been
distinguishing the layer name as just the "whatever" part sans
"meta-". I talked about the convention of using "meta-" in front
of layer names, etc. Well, this is confusing in light of how everyone
says a layer's name is "meta-whatever". So, I fixed all this up.

to bblayers.conf using bitbake-layers add-layer.
Needed to update some references in the yocto-project-qs and

Added the fact that this variable is really optional. If you
don't use it then you are setting up a package feed URI that
will include all supported arcchitectures for the package.
Using it means you are setting up specific URIs for specific
architectures.
Added a "Tip" note box to show how you can use the variable
to whitelist architectures.

about the yocto-kernel tool. This tool is no longer maintained
and there is no equivalent tool. I also fixed the yocto-bsp
tool to be the bitbake-layers tool. This involved some
consolidation of sections.
I fixed some links in the kernel-dev and toaster-manual.

that is a pared down version of the Quick Start (pre 2.5 release).
The article fills a gap for a short (2-page), process-oriented
article that steps the user through an initial build using YP.
I had to make changes to the Makefile to support building the new
article.
