Now of course this begs the question....
Is there an easy-bake way to create these profile specific grub entries
as part of the easy-bake way to define specific hardware profiles? And
is there a clever way to keep profile specific grub entries in sync
after a kernel upgrade, so that that profile specific grub entries do
not have to be recreated by hand after the upgrade?
