These branches get rebased often so locking SRCREV caused another
kind of problem. what we can do is.

1. Let user like you override the SRCREC via a bbappend or conf file.
so change the assignment to ?=
2. Delete the recipe completely. We lose some of upstream testing.


We should be able to skip the recipe if it isn't selected as the preferred
version and/or provider of "virtual/kernel". I'm out at the minute so can't
look at it now but will try to take a look later this week.
