kernel-dev: Added KMACHINE and MACHINE descriptions for using metadata

2017-10-06T11:06:34+00:00

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: Updates to "Using Kernel Metadata in a Recipe"

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

This section had some old emenlo examples and was a little confusing. I removed the old examples and inserted some new wordings to help smooth it out. (From yocto-docs rev: 365129e0cd37772f404d96a51eb498210e4f1ee9) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Additions to the "Overview" section.

kernel-dev: Updates to "Kernel Metadata Syntax" section

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

Scrubbed this section to bring it up to speed with more modern BSP examples and better explanation of the types of Metadata used. (From yocto-docs rev: ba009de68a3786f83d9c3c9debffa8b811479786) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

kernel-dev: Updates to where kernel metadata is found

2017-10-06T11:06:33+00:00

"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. (From yocto-docs rev: e643fc3df46658b8bcf9cdc12a78b527988b63a6) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie
