You can have your own recipe that has PROVIDES = "virtual/kernel" (and would also need to be selected in configuration as the PREFERRED_PROVIDER of that) but that only installs the headers. You'd probably do well to use the linux-dummy recipe as an example (meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-dummy.bb).
