As suggested in a recent mail thread by Martin Jansa, there are cases in
which QEMU under KVM will crash because of CPU feature incompatibilities
between compiled binaries and the host CPU under which qemu is run.
Although this is hard to fully escape, we should document the issue to
help people work around it. I have taked Martin's suggested patch
and did some rewording for the new section.

In the section that talks about building an image for multiple
machines, there was a bullet item on managing granular level
packaging. It had an old example that used the "daisy" release
that showed how to share packages and re-use binaries. I replaced
the example with a discussion of Freescale's "fsl-dynamic-packagearch"
class, which does this type of sharing.

This involved changing the root manual folder from

Also, every link using the ENTITY "YOCTO_DOCS_GS_URL" was

The original Yocto Project Quick Start is being retired for the
YP 2.5 release (sumo). I have purged all the various references
from the YP manual set and replaced them with references to the
appropriate doc. The references were mainly into the YP
dev-manual for setting up the host or for building an image.
There were a few references into the new "Yocto Project Quick
Build" document for overviewing manual-type references.

I did some re-wording to account for when the user does a web
search for a manual and the search returns an ancient version
of the manual. Many times the user is oblivious of this fact
and is trying to use a version of the docs that don't come close
to matching the version of the YP.

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.
