4666b2a2d8 xen: use bzImage for boot (instead of vmlinux)
Testing with the latest oe-core was unable to boot and
only syslinux was running.

It appears that the desired kernel is not on the /boot
partition, and hence the system can't continue.

bzImage is installed and available, so we switch to that.

We also ensure that both kernel-vmlinux and kernel-image
are installed to the rootfs so we can have choices in
the future.

5ae8ad3316 xen-image-minimal: supply bootloader config for qemux86-64 machine
Add a dedicated bootloader config for the qemux86-64 machine so that the
'pmtmr=0' kernel command line argument can be provided, which removes an
error message that otherwise occurs in syslog during boot which is
detected by an OEQA test case causing it to fail.

A new kickstart file is provided that applies the new bootloader config
and it is supplied as an override to WKS_FILE for this image.

This is work towards enabling the Xen Test Framework (XTF) in the OEQA
testimage framework.
