Richard Purdie 6b2cdc4b96 bitbake: siggen: Fix hashequiv performance issues
We're seeing huge slowdowns on large builds on the autobuilder. A qemux86 world
build was running really slowly, a primary feature was lots of rehashing going on
due to an sstate change which caused a rebuild when all output should be identical.

This was traced to the hundreds of thousands of calls to get_unihash() from
get_taskash(). If we simplify the unitaskhashes data structure, we can bypass
the function call and access the data directly. In local profile charts,
this significanly sped up process_possible_migrations(), both on profiles
and visually.

Whilst this change doesn't aid readability, it does solve an otherwise
huge performance issue.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
