Thanks Tom,

I discovered tonight that I botched the PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS variable in
intel-common-pkgarch. I omitted the trailing S, causing the kernel-modules
package to not be found and not be installed. I've pushed the fix to
meta-intel/master, and updated the dvhart/bsp-ng branch on top of it and
pushed that out to contrib. Probably worth trying with that now. Sorry
about that :-/
