Create a .bb file for your kernel (my-kernel.bb, see linux-*.bb for
samples), inherit from kernel, let SRC_URI point to my-kernel.tgz (or
create a patch to a release kernel, see samples).

The samples use SRC_URI to refer to a defconfig file placed at the same
location as the .bb file and use do_configure() to copy it to
.defconfig.  But you are free to do as you like.
