* Documenation: Updated "Usually October" to "October 2017" stringScott Rifenbark2017-10-068-7/+13
| | | | | | | | | | The string in the manual revision table needed updated across the set except for the kernel-dev manual.

* ref-manual: Updated Metadata term in Terms sectionScott Rifenbark2017-10-061-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | Provided a description for metadata in the context of the kernel that ties it to the yocto-kernel-cache Git repository rather than the old meta-* directories that were in the actual kernel trees.

* kernel-dev: Added KMACHINE and MACHINE descriptions for using metadataScott Rifenbark2017-10-061-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | Needed to remove an old example that was showing how two BSPs could share the same KMACHINE value. I replaced it with corei7-based machines. Also noted that KMACHINE is for kernel mapping only whereas MACHINE is for the layer's BSP machine type.

* kernel-dev: Eliminated "Generating Configuration Files" section.Scott Rifenbark2017-10-066-119/+104
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This section was largely redundant now. The small things that did add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained. Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.
