Indeed.  To expand on my idea, the kernel type should also be passed to
the user supplied kernel "activator" script to so that it can do
something like:

   # only activate framebuffer kernels
   if [ $KERNEL_TYPE != fb ]; then
        exit
   fi

I only mentioned /usr/local/bin because Linux Mandrake would not provide
it.  It would be totally "user conceived".  I don't like to put my own
scripts into the system portions of the filesystem because they get
lost.
