Attaching a patch which I have tested extensively which restores the -efikamx subarch and also makes the script work to our basic specifications. I did capitulate to the new "boot.script" method but we can properly handle kernel versions. It is amazing what a little bit of 'sed' can do. Also fixes

Not being able to remove kernels generated is a flaw in the fundamental way flash-kernel is written. We discussed this. It needs to "act" like update-initramfs but it doesn't. Adding more and more hacks to work around it is just that - more and more hacks. There is one reason and one reason only h

flash-kernel doesn't support seperate partitions by any design except to put this in board-specific code.
