section 1.4 in BSP Guide, "Customizing a Recipe for a BSP", appears
to discuss a new layer, "meta-xyz", then suggests the new "interfaces"
file for this machine needs to go at the location:
meta-xyz/recipes-core/init-ifupdown/files/xyz/interfaces
^^^ ???
but the files/ subdirectory of "xyz/" would appear to be necessary
(as we all know) only if this was a more general layer that
represented several machines (say, meta-ti) for which we *needed* to
distinguish between machines.
so while the above might be technically correct, it might mislead
readers to think they *needed* to create a "xyz/" subdirectory for
that overriding interfaces file.
Actually, it *is* necessary if meta-xyz supports more than one
MACHINE and those targets have unique versions of the 'interfaces'
file (which is common since this file is being tailored for a
particular target machine)
