[Bug 1176159] [NEW] [Lucid] Backport generic detection of Xen kernels for EC2

[Stefan Bader]

Public bug reported:

In order to try transitioning from the specially patched EC2 kernels for Lucid, we are aiming to have the virtual(server/generic-pae) kernels have the required Xen drivers built-in. At some point the ec2 meta-package could pull people over to the other kernels.
For that update-grub on EC2 PVM would need to detect the normal kernels to be usable. This is already done for later releases where this does not depend on the filename of kernels but on the config options in the config file shipped with them.
To prepare for this, can we have that change backported to Lucid? Probably preferring ec2 kernels before others of the same version.
