 I don't think we want a list in hwpack; instead the hwpack will contain
 a single kernel and that will be the one flavor we're expected to use;
 the hwpack creation might support finding the right kernel from
 multiple locations though.

 I personally find it's best to use the closest Python structure for
 code, so that you use a list to contain a list of things; we can
 convert the string representation from the hwpack when we read/write
 hwpacks. Perhaps we will infer kernel flavors from multiple hwpacks
 for instance, and then build a list from that. So I wouldn't worry
 too much about the way it's serialized in data files outside of
 linaro-image-tools.
