However it's done, we could use something like this. It would make things
like xen easier to deal with. It would also help with the spells that
build kernel modules... we've been changing those to use sorcery functions
to find the last built version of the kernel to figure out what tree to
build against. I know it has fallback if the linux spell isn't there, but
if someone has left the linux spell installed and just done their own
kernels past that I imagine it gets confused. It would be nice if those
advanced/custom kernels could still get themselves "registered" with
sorcery.

IMO, if the user wants to build the kernel outside of a spell then
they need to not use the linux spell at all (or use it for initial
setup, then remove it so it is no longer registered.

As David mentioned, the linux spell is there for convenience and it is
not meant (nor should it) to do everything.
