The use of MACHINE_KERNEL_PR is optional, so it feels really wrong to
append something to it in a recipe.

With the version below. a distro can start to use MACHINE_KERNEL_PR any
time without breaking updates.

The vast majority of modules do not use MACHINE_KERNEL_PR, as the
following numbers can tell (from 2011.03-maintenance):

$ git grep 'inherit.*module' | grep -v ^linux/ | wc -l
111
$ git grep 'MACHINE_KERNEL_PR' | grep -v ^linux/ | wc -l
33
$ git grep 'MACHINE_KERNEL_PR_' | grep -v ^linux/ | wc -l
10

Of the 33 recipes, 32 are directly related to TI, AFAICT. So, besides
TI, nobody is using MACHINE_KERNEL_PR in recipes at all, with
open-iscsi-kernel being the only exception.

Only 10 of the 33 recipes use MACHINE_KERNEL_PR_append. The other 23
users use the variable to set PR inside the recipe, which indicates that
they don't inherit module-base.bbclass.

In other words, 101 of 111 or about 91% of all recipes inheriting
module-base.bbclass currently won't rebuild automatically when their PR
gets incremented and the distro uses MACHINE_KERNEL_PR.

Regards,
Andreas
