    kernel-dev: Added KMACHINE and MACHINE descriptions for using metadata
    
    Needed to remove an old example that was showing how two BSPs could
    share the same KMACHINE value.  I replaced it with corei7-based
    machines.  Also noted that KMACHINE is for kernel mapping only
    whereas MACHINE is for the layer's BSP machine type.
