[yocto] kernel26 'machine feature'

[Chris Tapp]

Quite a few machine conf files specify the kernel26 machine feature. e.g., crownbay.conf has:

MACHINE_FEATURES = "kernel26 screen keyboard pci usbhost ext2 ext3 x86 \
                    acpi serial usbgadget"

What does this do? It's not listed at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#ref-features-machine and seems to be at odds with:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "linux-yocto"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto = "3.0%"
