Hi,

At the OEDEM conference we decided that the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE field will be mandatory for
 kernel recipes. If you maintain a kernel recipe: add the appropriate COMPATIBLE_MACHINE
field. If you don't maintain a kernel recipe, but want to help: patches welcome.

The COMPATIBLE_MACHINE machine field tells bitbake for which machines this is a valid
kernel to avoid surprises for some reason the PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel gets broken.
A lot of kernels already have that field, so have a look at first if you any questions.

regards,

Koen
