kernel-dev: Edits to "Creating and Preparing a Layer" 

Changed the name of this section and took out the bit about
the manual being written with the assumption of a custom
layer being created.  The manual does not particularly call
this out with any examples so it is not needed.

I pulled the copy of the original text also.

Customizing kernel recipes is best done in your own custom layer.
Your layer will have its own BitBake append files

This guide is written with the assumption that you will be working
from within your custom layer that is independent from layers
released with the Yocto Project.
If you are going to be modifying kernel recipes, it is recommended
that you create and prepare your own layer in which to do your
work.
Your layer contains its own BitBake append files
(<filename>.bbappend</filename>) and provides a convenient
mechanism to create your own recipe files
(<filename>.bb</filename>).
For details on how to create and work with layers, see the following

you will be working from within a layer independent from those released with the
