The part before the '_' is the package name, the part after is is
version. So, linux-yocto, linux-yocto-tiny and linux-yocto-rt are three
different kernels, each of which can have multiple versions at the same
time.

You get automatically the highest available version a package unless the
version is specifically pinned down somewhere (e.g.,
PREFERRED_VERSION_virtual/kernel in the configs or DEFAULT_PREFERENCE in
the recipes themselves).
