on recipes/*/*.bb
Grepping on recipes/*/*.inc results in another 141 matches

and grepping for do_stage in classes results in the following 11 matches:
classes/native.bbclass
classes/staging.bbclass
classes/java-library.bbclass
classes/cpan.bbclass
classes/srctree.bbclass
classes/canadian-native.bbclass
classes/packaged-staging.bbclass
classes/cross.bbclass
classes/autotools_stage.bbclass
classes/xlibs.bbclass
classes/canadian-cross.bbclass

Some of these are of course to invoke the do_stage function, but I guess
some of these need to be reworked (e.g. cpan, xlibs, java-library, but
probably others too)
