I've tested your solution and it solves the issue on my side,
thank you for addressing it so quickly!
There is a problem in the warning code though, namely a typo here:
skip_kernel_include_enabled = d.getVar('SKIP_META_VIRT_KERNEL_INLUDE')
if it would be
skip_kernel_include_enabled = d.getVar('SKIP_META_VIRT_KERNEL_INCLUDE')
the warning would be emitted as expected. After the change both emitting
and silencing the warning works fine.
