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.
