No idea about the specifics of overo-oe-repo but in general kernel
'provider'  is chosen by

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-xyz"

while the version can be pinned in some machine.conf  like

PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-xyz = "2.6.28.4"

If not pinned, bitbake will evaluate the DEFAULT_PREFERENCE in the
linux-xyz recipes.
