Mikko,

Since we are using the same base yocto-kernel-cache data for both the
linux-intel and linux-yocto kernel, the value add by the linux-intel
kernel is that it uses the out of tree modules (newer, shiner, better),
while the linux-yocto kernel still needs to have the iwlwifi and ixgbe
drivers there, since it does not DEPEND on the iwlwifi OOT modules.

So removal is easiest.

Sau!
