That's not really much of an explanation.
Let's take an example.  I have two out of tree kernel modules A and B.
B depends on A.
With "legacy" staging, in A_1.0.bb I have a do_install, that copies
the kernel object, and a do_stage, that copies the header file at
a place where B_1.0.bb can find it.

How do I do that with non-"legacy" staging?
