ref-manual: Edits to the LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION variable.
Applied Darren Hart's review comments. Namely, use the example from the linux-yocto recipes and not the custom recipe.

You define this variable in the kernel recipe.
- For example, the <filename>linux-yocto-custom.bb</filename>
- kernel recipe found in
- <filename>meta-skeleton/recipes-kernel/linux</filename>
- defines the variable as follows:
+ For example, the linux-yocto kernel recipes all define

<literallayout class='monospaced'>

</literallayout>
Defining this variable essentially sets the
