[OE-core] two identically-named machine .conf files in two different layers?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  just ran across someone else's OE work, where he pulled in a
standard layer that defined a machine, call it "machine.conf", then
added an internal layer with some tweaks but *also* contained a
machine definition file named precisely "machine.conf", which was just
the original file with some edits. so it wasn't extending or modifying
the original machine.conf, it was meant to completely override it.

  i was a bit confused as i'm not sure what even happens in a
situation like that. does one take precedence over the other based on
layer priority? or what?
