Hello Yoctoholics!

Is it possible to declare a kernels' SRC_URI, as also certain functions, directly in the machine config, instead of the kernel .bb?

Example: currently I declare the following in a mykernel.bb (derrived from kernel.bbclass)
    SRC_URI_mymachine = "git:my-git-repo"
    do_compile_append_mymachine(){
        rm somefile
    }

...is it possible now, to move this specific code into the mymachine.conf file, like
    SRC_URI_mykernel = "git:my-git-repo"
    do_compile_mykernel_append(){
        rm somefile
    }

Questions:
1) Is this possible at all?

2) Is it better to use suffix "_mykernel", "_kernel" or "_virtual/kernel"?

3) I saw settings sometimes using the suffix "_kernelname" e.g. "_linux-yocto" and other times "_virtual/kernel" - what are the differences between them? When better use one, when better use the other?

BR,
L
