Quite a few machine conf files specify the kernel26 machine feature. e.g., 
crownbay.conf has:

MACHINE_FEATURES = "kernel26 screen keyboard pci usbhost ext2 ext3 x86 \

What does this do? It's not listed at 
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#ref-features-machine
 and seems to be at odds with:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel ?= "linux-yocto"
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto = "3.0%"

I don't think it does anything any more.  I'm pretty sure it used
to be used to select which style of kernel module utilities to
install (there was a change in kernel module format between 2.4
and 2.6), but it seems that's gone now.  At least in the Poky/Yocto
tree (oe-core + meta-yocto), there is no active use of this feature.
