The alternate-kernel.bbclass is to be inherited by image recipes that want to
build and install an alternate kernel (set via
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_alternate/kernel).

It is mandatory to also set the KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME for the alternate kernel
recipe via KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME_pn-${PREFERRED_PROVIDER_alternate/kernel} and
its value needs to be different from "kernel" since this is the default set
for PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel.

When building and installing an alternate kernel, the kernel-modules packages
for both virtual/kernel and alternate/kernel will be installed.
