The generic_x86 board target provides basic services on
very basic hardware. To build with generic_x86, you will
need an appropriate kernel for your device (or emulation).

A1. Create a new top level directory and pull the AOSP repository
        mkdir $HOME/AOSP
        cd $HOME/AOSP
        repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
        repo sync

A2. Copy in the buildspeck.mk
        cd $HOME/AOSP
        cp build/target/board/generic_x86/buildspec-generic_x86.mk buildspec.mk

A3. Copy in the kernel
        cd $HOME/AOSP
        cp ~/bzImage.your_device $HOME/AOSP/prebuilt/android-x86/kernel/kernel

A4. Build
        cd $HOME/AOSP
        source build/envsetup.sh
        lunch generic_x86-eng
        make -j8

The build will generate some image files whose format may or may not be correct for your
device.
