From 6ca1a37dfb671681755d94ab4924c322931efec1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2017 07:13:55 -0700 Subject: kernel-dev: Added KMACHINE and MACHINE descriptions for using metadata 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.
