In general, looks good to me. A couple of thoughts:

* Could you provide simple test cases for the "apply" parameter and dts in this
  or some later series?

* Echoing Jan: Why did you drop config fragment patches?

* The current usage of copying qemu-*-static in the mainline is racy (a recipe
  may delete it before chroot needs it). It should be centralized in the
  future.

With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
