"cfg" and "features" used to reside in the linux-yocto-x.x repo
under meta.  They are now in a separate repo named
yocto-kernel-cache.  I rewrote a couple spots that incorrectly
referenced the old location.

         The value of the entries in <filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename>
         are dependent on their location within the kernel Metadata itself.

-        branch of the <filename>linux-yocto-3.19</filename> repository.
-        Within that branch, "features" and "cfg" are subdirectories of the
