Updated the kernel development flow diagram to have an arrow from
the repositories to the box that says you need to clone the
kernel repository. Also, provided some wording changes in the
end of the chapter.

Updated the field description for "Specify Sysroot Location" to
note that the user can have this either downloaded or built and
the ramifications of using a downloaded root filesystem.
Updated the "Deploying and Debugging the Application" steps for
both supported Eclipse versions to tell the user what to do if
a browse operation fails or times out.

The dev-manual had a place-holder section for getting the
build host ready for using YP and then doing kernel
development. This stuff is better suited for the actual
kernel development manual. I moved the section. Moving
created several broken links in the manual set that had to
be fixed.
In the dev-manual, I updated the introductory list to include
the newly moved kernel stuff.

to remove the make early exit error.

I also created as part of that list, links to the BSP manual
where I now talk about getting the system ready for BSP
development.
