Darren Hart 15c2a7035d Move meta-rt recipes to oe-core (meta)

Keeping the rt recipes in their own layer has led to maintenance issues,
particularly with the linux-yocto-rt recipes. As these kernel types are part of
the same linux-yocto source repository, it seems reasonable to include the rt
kernel recipes alongside the standard recipes. A new recipes-rt directory for
the other recipes provides adequate separation and eliminates the need for a
separate layer.

As there is no meta-rt/conf/layer.conf to force the kernel, users must now
specify the rt kernel in their local.conf or in the machine.conf:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-yocto-rt"

The merging of the rt recipes into the core also eliminates complications with
multiple layer dependencies for new BSP layers. Having to either separate RT
BSPs from standard BSPs or force users to add meta-rt to bblayers even when not
building an RT BSP (because the RT BSPs in the same layer would fail to parse
without it) was sub-optimal at best.

README

Poky

Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.

Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.

As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.

The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
