2016-04-06kernel-dev: Updated the "Kernel Metadata Location" section.Scott Rifenbark
Fixes [YOCTO #8272] I re-wrote the section to basically consider kernel metadata coming from either inside the recipe (recipe-space) or from outside the recipe, which would be like a "kernel-cache". The re-write eliminated the term "in-tree" regarding where kernel metadata could reside.

2015-03-06bsp-guide, kernel-dev, ref-manual: KERNEL_FEATURES should refer to .scc files.Robert P. J. Day
Tweak a number of doc lines so that the KERNEL_FEATURES variable refers directory to .scc files, and does not take advantage of potentially confusing shortcuts.

2015-03-06kernel-dev: Swapped out fri2 BSP for emenlow BSP in example.Scott Rifenbark
In the "Using Kernel Metadata in a Recipe" section, the example called out "fri2" as an example BSP that shares the same KMACHINE. This was true last release of meta-intel but is no longer true. I used "emenlow" now as it seems to be like "fri2" was before the "fido" release. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
