In the "runqemu Command-Line Options" section there is a bulleted

valid values and listed "qemux86" twice in the list. I removed
one of them.

Needed to remove an old example that was showing how two BSPs could
share the same KMACHINE value. I replaced it with corei7-based
machines. Also noted that KMACHINE is for kernel mapping only
whereas MACHINE is for the layer's BSP machine type.

This section was largely redundant now. The small things that did
add value I placed in other areas of the chapter 2. One was a new
section on expanding variables using bitbake -e. Another was a bit
about the defconfig file. And a small procedure on how to create
config fragments using the "diffconfig" command was retained.
Links from the dev-manual and the ref-manual were adjusted as well.

side of some image formats, and a few have been renamed.
The u-boot image signing code is now always available and no
longer in a stand-alone file. The vmdk/mdi/qcow2 images have
been removed and are now just a conversion type that is applied
to wic images.
