FILESPATHBASE =. "${TOPDIR}/files"

Then mkdir -p files/<PN for the kernel recipe>; cp myconfig files/<PN 
for the kernel recipe>/defconfig.  or what have you.  file:// uris are 
processed via FILESPATH, which is constructed by FILESPATHBASE and 
FILESPATHPKG.  The default FILESPATHBASE is the location where the 
recipe resides, if that helps explain it.
