When I designed bsp structure, I thought that bsp should include
precompiled binary files against default configuration. Not only
applications but also kernel and modules can also be placed in the
<bspdir>/prebuilt directory. If you look at the other BSP like i386-generic
or arm-Zaurus, they contain pre compiled  binaries for it's default
configuration. I think this is a right approach when your BSP is for your
customers. However, providing kernel binary may not be a good choice in the
development phase.
