In order to support VirtualBox guest additions, kernel headers need to be present in the VM. I am aware we already have two packages/recipes that are somewhat similar (kernel-devsrc.bb, linux-libc-headers), but none of them is suitable for this purpose. Besides the kernel headers, some additional files (scripts, Makefiles, .config, etc) are also required.
The new recipe "kernel-headers.bb" can in principle be used by other images as well. It is not limited to the Build Appliance and hence is not a part of the Build Appliance recipe.
