What I want to do here is to trigger building of kernel when building 
out an image. I'm not proposing to make all images have kernel -modules 
installed.

Previously, the kernel is built out by default because 
packagegroup-core-boot has a dependency on it. Now the dependency is gone.

I'm not talking about installing kernel modules onto images.
