Shouldn't anything that DEPENDS on virtual/kernel get rebuilt if PR changes in the kernel recipe?  From what I can tell all it does anyway is set the PR value of whatever inherits it to MACHINE_KERNEL_PR. Or is there a use for this beyond just making sure a package gets rebuilt?

OEBasicHash was only rebuilding external modules, but that does not
upgrade them on target device. 

Now with PR service it's not so important, but still useful because it's
more reliable.

Cheers,
