RMC Feature is based on RMC project, systemd-boot, EFI installer
to enable a single generic image, built for multiple platforms,
automatically applies customization and quirks specific to a type
of boards at runtime.
In another word, you will see a single image behaves differently
and intelligently according to the type of board it is running on.
To Enable this feature: add the two lines in conf file:
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " rmc"
EFI_PROVIDER = "rmc-systemd-boot"
Based on Saul Wold's initial work on a feature switch, RMC patches
in systemd-boot, installer and gnu-efi aren't built unless the
feature is enabled.
For a supported board, this feature can :
() show and boot with board-specific boot entries in boot menu
in live-boot and post-installation.
() apply a kernel cmdline fragment to the end of cmdline to boot
Linux kernel. This is effective for any boot entry user chooses in
boot menu.
() create directory and deploy files only for the type of the
running board to target's file systems. What left on target after
installation is just same as the result from installing a conventional
image customized for a single type of hardware.
To add support of new boards, a new variable RMC_BOARD_DATA_DIRS
is the interface to developers. How-to information will be provided
with examples in following patches.

By adding the direct path to recipes in common directories we allow
upper layers to further extend the recipes.
Without the patch the extending recipes look like this:
require common/recipes-foo/bar/baz.inc
With this patch the include can be written like in other layers:
require recipes-foo/bar/baz.inc

The intel-core* BSPs supercede these older BSPs therefore it's time
to remove these older platform specific bsps.
Bump LAYERVERSION to 3 to allow the Autobuilder to know that these
BSPs have been removed.

The layer priority is getting ignored because the same set of files
are visible in the meta-intel layer as well as any of its sub layers.
The layer pattern for recipe files is changed from "^${LAYERDIR}/" to
"^${LAYERDIR}/common" to stop unintentionally including the sub-layer
recipe files in the meta-intel layer.

As we've retired some BSPs we'll need to bump LAYERVERSION so
that the autobuilder does not fail out on them.

Configuration for the chiefriver, sys940x, sys940x-noemgd, n450 BSPs are
deleted. The consolidated BSPs viz intel-corei7-64 and intel-core2-32
support these boards.
As part of the usual retirement process, a heads-up email was sent to the
meta-intel mailing list requesting any feedback regarding retirement of
these BSPs. The community did not had any concerning feedback to
reconsider the retirement decision.
The MAINTAINERS file and the layer version of the meta-intel layer are
updated to reflect removal of the BSPs.

Avoid the immediate expansion operator (:=) which caused base_contains
added in the previous commit to fail to expand at the time the
meta-intel layer configs are parsed and replace it with one of the
append operators (.= or +=) that allows for delayed variable expansion.

Add a directory common/custom-licenses to store license texts of recipes
in meta-intel layer using custom licenses.
Adding these licenses text for emgd-driver-bin recipe:
- Intel-software-license-emgd-1.14
- Intel-user-space-graphics-driver-binary-license-emgd-1.14
This takes care of this build warning:
WARNING: emgd-driver-bin: No generic license file exists for: Intel-binary-only in any provider
