Well, I think Julian's implication was that we can't support in particular
the boot loader -> kernel handover case without extra measures (if
at all), and hence he added things together and said what results
from this. Of course ideally we'd reject mixed requests, but unless
someone can come up with a clever means of how to determine entity
boundaries I'm afraid this is not going to be possible without breaking
certain setups.
