tmp/work/boot-kenrel/(kernel and modues)
tmp/work/run-time-kenrel/(kernel and modules)

so we'd still have to build all the modules twice too... is that right? I
guess we'd install the boot-modules into the initramfs, and throw away that
kernel.

then we'd link the initramfs into the runtime kenrel.

finally we'd install the runtime modules into the runtime filesystem....
