yocto-poky: Move to import-layers subdir
We are going to import additional layers, so create a subdir to hold all of the layers that we import with git-subtree. Change-Id: I6f732153a22be8ca663035c518837e3cc5ec0799 Signed-off-by: Patrick Williams <patrick@stwcx.xyz>

+Poky
+====
+
+Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
+build system and development environment. It features support for building
+customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
+featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
+cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
+standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
+
+Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
+is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
+in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
+
+As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
+BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
+e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
+
+The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
+reference manual which can be found at:
+ http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
+
+OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions
+of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with
+DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
+
+For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website:
+ http://www.openembedded.org/
+
+Where to Send Patches
+=====================
+
+As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer),
+patches against the various components should be sent to their respective
+upstreams:
+
+bitbake:
+ Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
+ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
+
+documentation:
+ Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
+ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
+
+meta-poky, meta-yocto-bsp:
+ Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp)
+ Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
+
+Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in
+doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify.
+Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git
+repository.
+
+ Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
+ Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
+
+Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of
+oe-core and poky-specific files.
