The proposal to merge ~igor-brovtsin/maas:dgx-platform-kernels-lookup into maas:master has been updated.

Description changed to:

This MP introduces multiple changes that allow better platform-optimised kernel support. Namely, it changes the order of kernels returned by `get_working_kernel`: when no specific kernel was requested, platform-optimised (machine platform == kernel platform) kernels take precedence over platform-supporting (machine platform in kernel supported platforms) and generic (kernel platform == "generic"  kernels. This way, machines with a platform selected will get the platform-optimised kernel by default, if possible.

Upd: previous claim that this MP will break backward compatibility was incorrect, as we have a default value calculation for the new fields in the `get_hwe_kernels` (and I totally forgot about that).
