[OE-core] Staging machine specific kernel headers in sysroot

[Khem Raj]

You should write a bbappend for linux libc headers recipe and apply the
patch to kernel and expose is that way. But before doing that I would
suggest that you work with driver owner to submit their header to kernel.
Since you can get into conflicts in future.
