[Arm-netbook] meta-allwinner

As discussed in another thread, i created a meta layer for
openembedded with u-boot and kernel for allwinner a10 boards:

https://github.com/ebutera/meta-allwinner

Everything went smoothly and i successfully built a base console
image, with kernel and u-boot. I just had to make a small patch for
the kernel, gcc was complaining about some inline functions.

I have no A10 hardware so i can't test it, i uploaded the rootfs,
kernel and u-boot in the repository download section.

It's possibile that it will not work very well because i forgot to use
the proper libc kernel headers, but it should boot and you will be
able to play with it anyway. A fix will come later.

Just as a reference:

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.15.2"
TARGET_ARCH       = "arm"
TARGET_OS         = "linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "allwinner-a10"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "oe-core.0"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv7a vfp neon cortexa8"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta
meta-allwinner    = "master:e3113827810e98eb1b012f0b280fb917199704c1"
meta-oe           = "master:fb360b53a5f9715320fe161637e4b46737f52d8f"

(i don't know why it reports meta-allwinner with git information, it
was still not a git repository when i built the image...).

If it fries your A10 don't blame me :D
