[OE-core] Do we have a package that installs the kernel headers and config into the target?

Glad to know this is a know bug.
I personally think it would be pretty nice if we can fix this bug soon
since the students are being frustrated by this...

And, in the Build Appliance (self-hosted-image) work, we want to
enable the vmware guest's VMware Tools. This also requires the ability
to build kernel module in the target.
