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>

+ <para>
+ It may seem surprising to see a section covering an 'overall architecture'
+ for what seems to be a random collection of tracing tools that together
+ make up the Linux tracing and profiling space.
+ The fact is, however, that in recent years this seemingly disparate
+ set of tools has started to converge on a 'core' set of underlying
+ mechanisms:

+ <emphasis>Tying it Together:</emphasis> Rather than enumerating here how each tool makes use of
+ these common mechanisms, textboxes like this will make note of the
+ specific usages in each tool as they come up in the course
+ of the text.
