That is a sticky one .. I supposed one could argue that the .plus does
not need to be there since it is in the name, but more important than
`uname -r` specifically is what is in /lib/modules/ for the directory
structure.  If the kernel-xen and the kernel-plus are also trying to use
the same structure there, then that will obviously not work, so we will
need something unique in that part of the string.

Note: you will have to roll in KB's certificate changes (now in
git.centos.org) and we will have to build it on the server that can sign
the secureboot stuff before we release it ... the
3154598aff24615c1f82d79ed299fb3d155d3282 revision is the GA kernel with
the new certs and brandig mods. 
f355f5c33a16a2168bdad17ccc60db6b8198f6af is the revision for the ZeroDay
update with the certs and mods.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
