What seems to work is this:

bitbake virtual/kernel -c configure -f
bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig -f
bitbake virtual/kernel -c deploy -f
bitbake virtual/kernel

As long as the new kernel configurations are statically linked into the
kernel there is no need to generate modules and install them on the
rootfs. It's sufficient to update the uImage.

...To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass
is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to
be.So, if you let the engineer at it (fix the glass), the optimist,
while pretty happy, becomes happier and the pessimist becomes ecstatic.
