Hi everyone. I'm not a Yocto/bitbake expert, so please forgive me for the 
possibily confusing message.

Our current Yocto setup uses sumo (we're stuck with that right now, don't know 
if it matters). It has one shared layer, an ARM layer with one machine and a 
"x86" layer with two 32-bit machines. A few recipes in shared our layer use a 
"x86" override to restrict functionality to these machines (bbappends were 
causing trouble, so I went the override route).

We now have a requirement to migrate one of the x86-32 machines to a 64-bit 
system. My first step was to use "genericx86-64" as a test machine and inspect 
a few variables. I was surprised to find out that MACHINEOVERRIDES does not 
list "x86" anymore, just the machine's name. I'd expect that a common override 
for x86 machines would be defined, regardless of the bitness, but repeating 
this with "genericx86" tells me this is not the case. We have meta-intel, but 
it seems our x86 machine variables come from meta-yocto-bsp (I wonder now if 
this is a layer priority issue).

Is this not a common use case or is our setup fundamentally wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.
