* documentation: BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE suggestionsScott Rifenbark2011-11-251-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Text that suggests setting the BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE variables to speed build time has been updated to suggest a setting of twice the number of host cores supported. The 2x number came to light through a discussion on the project mailing list initiated by Robert P. J. Day. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

| | | | | | | | | | | Several notes were not producing a line-break betweent he end of the note and the start of the next paragraph. Most work, but for some reason these did not. It is a mystery to me.

| | | | | | | | | | | I had to add some changes to the way we invoke qemu to show multiple processor support. I needed the qemuparam "-smp 2". There are other minor edits as well.

| | | | | | | | | | | Dave Stewart said that good coding practice is to set the variables before any print statements. So I moved one statement above the example printk statements.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | reconfigure example. this example uses the CONFIG_SMP configuration. By default, this configuration is disabled. The example shows how to use menuconfig and explains the .config file role and how you can use it combined with menuconfig to manage multiple configuration changes. Thanks to Darren Hart for identifying this simple change to demonstrate how to change the kernel configuration.

| | | | | | | | | | | Bruce Ashfield's review comments indicated that we will be using linux-yocto-3.0 and not linux-yocto-2.6.37. So I am putting these changes in to anticipate the 1.1 release.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are some issues with the fact that the build process parses all kernel .bbappend files whether they are used or not during the build process. I added an extra build configuration note regarding editing the .bbappend file. I noted that you either have to edit every .bbappend file and comment out the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE statement or simply remove all the kernel recipe append files except the one you are interested in.

This was necessary due to the fact I could not get the example running because of not understanding the repo location and branch needs to set it up.
