No objections, this all looks fine to me.

It would be nice to have that fact reflected in the name somehow, to
avoid confusion for users with Yocto Project Components->Kernel, but I'm
not coming up with anything wieldy.

I agree, it would just add confusion to keep this.

On the other hand this naming is clean and consistent with the rest, so
is probably better.

I agree. Acked-by-me...
