i'm not a shell expert, but with this patch i can flash a linaro-omap
kernel on a vanilla omap4's ubuntu kernel and the other way around.

Title:
  kernel upgrade does not flash linaro kernel on panda

Status in “flash-kernel” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: flash-kernel

  Dist-upgrading a Linaro install on a Panda, the kernel is not written
  to the boot partition:

  update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-1001-linaro-omap
  Kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-1001-linaro-omap does not match your subarchitecture omap4, therefore not writing it to flash.

  $ uname -a
  Linux linaro 2.6.38-1001-linaro-omap #2-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 21 21:40:07 UTC 2011 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
  $

  flash-kernel's subarchitecture check is buggy wrt Linaro kernel
  naming.
