I also see that there's only a kernel recipe. IIRC, kirkwood devices are
supported in upstream linux, so you're probably fine using linux-yocto,
copy paste and slightly modify the machine configuration files if need
be and start from there instead of using this ultra old Linux kernel
(come on... 2.6?).

Good luck :)
