+        The Linux kernel base (<filename>linux-kernel-base</filename>) class
+        provides common functionality for recipes that build out of the Linux
+        kernel source tree.
+        These builds goes beyond the kernel itself.
+        For example, the Perf recipe also inherits this class.
