* ref-manual: Updated KBRANCH variable descriptionScott Rifenbark2017-10-061-20/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | The description had gone stale and was referencing a linux yocto kernel we don't support and BSPs we don't support. Updated it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | "cfg" and "features" used to reside in the linux-yocto-x.x repo under meta. They are now in a separate repo named yocto-kernel-cache. I rewrote a couple spots that incorrectly referenced the old location.

* 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.
