We need eventually to move to using the BSP for the Linux,
but it needs to be tested thoroughly.
I will move pre-your-revert target/linux/Makefile.in
to target/linux-experimental/Makefile.in so 
that we can continue testing.
 
Again, the package/linux.mk was broken well before that
and only worked properly if the kernel and the kernel-headers
was the same, and applying the BSP patch on top of the linux.mk
was therefore a good thing, because it ironed out an existing
nasty bug, even if it caused hassle for You and others
using the same kernel + headers.
