[OE-core] [PATCH v9] kernel: Add support for multiple kernel packages

[Haris Okanovic]

I rebased the patch to latest master (openembedded-core commit cf5c44ac) 
and still can't reproduce what you're seeing. I can see a /boot/bzImage 
symlink in both buildHistory [1] and the IPK [2].

Are you using the same source? It seems like your kernel version is 
4.12.16 but linux-yocto is at 4.12.14 in master.

Could you send me the output of `bitbake -e virtual/kernel`? The only 
case where /boot/bzImage should be missing is when 
"${KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME}" != "kernel". Search for an `ln -sf ...` call in 
kernel_do_install() to see the logic.
