That's three cases - "all archictures", "machine", "target archicture",
which makes sense. For example, linux-yocto and base-files are
machine-specific and thus in qemux86-poky-linux.
But when using meta-intel and MACHINE=intel-corei7-64 (at least in Ostro
OS, haven't tried with Poky), the kernel ends up in
corei7-64-intel-common-ostro-linux together with gnu-efi and
intel-microcode, while base-files and the other machine specific recipes
are in intel_corei7_64-ostro-linux.
For qemux86 and linux-yocto, PACKAGE_ARCH=MACHINE_ARCH="qemux86".
For intel-corei7-64 and linux-yocto,
PACKAGE_ARCH=INTEL_COMMON_PACKAGE_ARCH="corei7-64-intel-common" (from
meta-intel/conf/machine/include/intel-common-pkgarch.inc).
I suppose that's because the same kernel can be used by multiple
machines, so there's basically a forth level of sharing.
I just wish that the naming of the resulting directories was a bit more
intuitive. I'm constantly wondering what's in
"corei7-64-intel-common-ostro-linux" and what's in
"intel_corei7_64-ostro-linux" :-/
