Description Beth Flanagan 2015-04-30 19:00:55 UTC 
Asked to enable kernel developers to create testing/temporary images with their development kernels without exposing them to meta details. All they would provide (ideally) is the url to their kernel git repo, meta details will be defaults.

In other words, for buildset-config.kernel-override we don't want people to have to create a huge SRC_URI string that they'll probably mess up. Let's help them by putting fields together to do this.
