Part of the fix for Bug 628 is to add a note that bitbake requires
python 2.6. I added this note before the example bitbake command
that builds an image. I also added a linked reference to the Poky
Reference Manual and mentioned the FAQ appendix. There will be more
information about the python requirement in the FAQ.

The mechanism to trigger these options is in the form of an
optional kernel feature that is only appended for qemux86
and qemux86-64, but is contained within the kernel tree.
This allows several things:
- the options to be available/shared for all boards
- the options to be in tree
- to not add the options to every board, which unecessarily
bloats the default configuration.

sstate.bbclass: add SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS
When doing builds using sstate cache, there was no way to run
the equivalent of a pkg_postinst function. This is needed by
the SGML-related documentation recipes to properly update the
catalog files when new DTDs and stylesheets are installed.
SSTATEPOSTINSTFUNCS is a new variable you can set to function(s)
in your recipe to run after install is completed from sstate.
Thanks to Richard Purdie for suggesting this solution.

If expanding a variable triggers an exception the caller currently has no
way to supress the error message or otherwise handle the siutation. An
example of where this is a problem is "bitbake -e" showing tracebacks and
errors for variables like SRCPV in OE/Poky.
Secondly in a chained expansion fails, log mesages are recorded for
every step of the expansion, not just the innermost error which is
where the real failure occured.
To fix this we introduce a new exception ExpansionError which callers
can handle as appropriate.

bitbake/data_smart: Improve the way lazyassignment works
Currently, if a variable has been set with ??= and the code looks it up
before the data finalisation phase, no value is found. This is causes
serious problems for anonymous python functions which manipulate data, or
for the fetcher revision handling code where revisions can be set with
??=.
There is also a significant performance implication for processing lazy
assignment in finalise.
Moving the check for a default value into getVarFlag addresses both
the timing issue and the performace. This change gives a 7% real time
performance improvement to parsing the Poky metadata. The cost of the
check at this point is minimal since we have all the data flags available.
This should also fix Yocto bug 752.
