+
+        <para>
+            You can add kernel features in the
+            <link linkend='recipe-space-metadata'>recipe-space</link> by
+            using the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-KERNEL_FEATURES'><filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename></ulink>
+            variable and by specifying the feature's <filename>.scc</filename>
+            file path in the
+            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-SRC_URI'><filename>SRC_URI</filename></ulink>
+            statement.
+            When you add features using this method, the OpenEmbedded build
+            system checks to be sure the features are present.
+            If the features are not present, the build stops.
+            Kernel features are the last elements processed for configuring
+            and patching the kernel.
+            Therefore, adding features in this manner is a way
+            to enforce specific features are present and enabled
+            without needing to do a full audit of any other layer's additions
+            to the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement.
+        </para>
+
+        <para>
+            You add a kernel feature by providing the feature as part of the
+            <filename>KERNEL_FEATURES</filename> variable and by providing the
+            path to the feature's <filename>.scc</filename> file, which is
+            relative to the root of the kernel Metadata.
+            The OpenEmbedded build system searches all forms of kernel
+            Metadata on the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement regardless
+            of whether the Metadata is in the "kernel-cache", system kernel
+            Metadata, or a recipe-space Metadata.
+            See the
+            "<link linkend='kernel-metadata-location'>Kernel Metadata Location</link>"
+            section for additional information.

+        <para>
+            When you specify the feature's <filename>.scc</filename> file
+            on the <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement, the OpenEmbedded
+            build system adds the directory of that
+            <filename>.scc</filename> file along with all its subdirectories
+            to the kernel feature search path.
+            Because subdirectories are searched, you can reference a single
+            <filename>.scc</filename> file in the
+            <filename>SRC_URI</filename> statement to reference multiple kernel
+            features.

+                    Continuing with the example, suppose the "test.scc"
+                    feature you are adding has a
+                    <filename>test.scc</filename> file in the following

+                    In this example, the <filename>linux-yocto</filename>
+                    directory has both the feature
+                    <filename>test.scc</filename> file and a similarly

+                    </literallayout>
+                    The leading space before the path is important as the
+                    path is appended to the existing path.
+                    </para></listitem>
+                <listitem><para>
+                    Specify the feature as a kernel feature:

+     KERNEL_FEATURES_append = " test.scc"
+                    </literallayout>
+                    The OpenEmbedded build system processes the kernel feature

+                    <note>
+                        If other features are contained below "test.scc",

+                        containing the <filename>test.scc</filename> file.
