We don't want to use a specific Xen entry path. So having a Xen stub is 
has to be rule out.

Anyway as said multiple time, there is no issue to drop the "linux," in 
the properties. They are only used internally between the stub and the 
kernel (both are built in the same image).

It would be pointless to create a stub just for renaming the properties...
