I don't know what to do with tune* and qt patchset.

This one is not important, but if you like the idea then it would be
better to get it in this release already:
[PATCH] kernel.bbclass: include PE in KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME

And I have 2 patches to remove time dependent variables from images
which I haven't sent to ML yet, because still testing if it has some bad
sideeffect and if it's enough to resolve the issue I was seeing.
I'll send them as RFC.
