Title: master: add mainline Linux kernel v2

Hi Enrico,

Here is a pull request for these 4 patches:

linux-3.2: remove commented lines
linux-3.2: use oe-core kernel class instead of custom linux.inc
linux: remove unused linux.inc
linux: add a mainline kernel recipe

It is a change to the linux-3.2 kernel recipe so it inherits the openembedded-core kernel class instead of using the custom linux.inc.

Also a recipe for the mainline kernel is added, keeping track of the latest commit using SRCREV = AUTOREV as suggested by Enric.

I decided to use the kernel class instead of the upstream linux.inc as you suggested because this include file is not part of openembedded-core layer but meta-openembedded/meta-oe.

So I didn't want to make the meta-igep layer to depend of another layer just for this linux.inc file. Is not a real benefit over kernel class afaict since we are using our own defconfig anyways and don't need all these automatic Kconfig settings that linux.inc adds on its do_configure_prepend() function IMHO.

Please let me know if you have any issues with it.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Javier
