If 'a' is fixed above, then I want to fix 'b'.  And acutally i think that
in some cases the -server kernel will boot on ec2.

However, the -virtual kernel is no longer a strict subset of the -server.
The modules *may* be binary compatible at the moment, but there is nothing
that is guaranteeing that.
