Kernel Types
------------
-A kernel type defines a high-level kernel policy by aggregating
-non-hardware configuration fragments with patches you want to use when
-building a Linux kernel of a specific type (e.g. a real-time kernel).
-Syntactically, kernel types are no different than features as described
-in the ":ref:`kernel-dev/advanced:features`" section. The
-:term:`LINUX_KERNEL_TYPE`
-variable in the kernel recipe selects the kernel type. For example, in
-the ``linux-yocto_4.12.bb`` kernel recipe found in
-``poky/meta/recipes-kernel/linux``, a
-:ref:`require <bitbake:bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-metadata:\`\`require\`\` directive>` directive
