Whilst I'm not enthused about having the loader know more magic 
filenames, I'd be inclined to add some code which checks to see if a 
userconfig_script object had already been read, and if not, searched 
for <kernelname>.conf and loaded it just before invoking the kernel (in 
about the same place as the automatic load of PnP-required modules 
should happen).
