To me, it appears that the contents of the repo still contain the kernel BitBake append files that you edit to point to your locally modified kernel source files as described in the text.  Within the entire YP documentation set, this little area is the only reference to the old 'poky-extras' repo.  Here is the link to see the changes - http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#meta-yocto-kernel-extras-repo.
