I'd add that there are several reasons for this. Things like atom-pc
from meta-yocto could do with accessing this file's content for example
so its useful beyond just meta-intel. In the same way we have various
core "tune" files in OE-Core, this one has become something similar for
IA32. There were recently sstate reuse bugs where the lack of a common
include were causing this to get rebuild depending on which machine was
selected.
It also allows the yocto-bsp tools to work with OE-Core where they'd
currently have failures due to recommending this file.
Cheers,
Richard
