I picked the distro conf because the SELinux kernel config is why we
need to pin the version (don't have a config for 3.19 yet). Secondly in
looking for an example of using this variable I saw the poky distro
layer pinning the kernel version in the distro.conf. I may have just
been emulating bad behavior here though.
