The key piece is the MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS, which is telling Poky to
recommend the gst-va-intel and va-intel recipes when building this
machine.

RRECOMMENDS are automatically installed as a dependency (in this case,
of task-machine-base, see task-base.bbclass) but can be removed without
causing the package which pulled it in to be removed (see the Poky
reference manual glossary on *_RRECOMMENDS).

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html

I'd suggest the RRECOMMENDS actually be added at a more granular level
than the machine. Perhaps you could file a bug against the BSP?

Cheers,
Joshua
