+# Generate per-kernel recipe variants
+#
+# Recipes which are specific to a specific kernel currently append KERNEL_NAME to the PN,
+# and depend on and target that specific kernel. For a machine which supports and builds
+# multiple kernel images, there is a need to generate a variant of the recipe for each
+# kernel image.
+# 
+# Each variant listed in KERNEL_NAMES will add `kernel-<kernel_name>` to the OVERRIDES variable, and
+# `per-kernel:<kernel_name>` to the BBCLASSEXTEND variable. In addition, KERNEL_NAME will be
+# set to the kernel name for the current variant.
