I agree; we should order the tags before we concatenate the kernel_opts so that the end result can be fine-tuned by the user.

Right, but this is all under the user's control so I don't see that as a problem. As long as the resulting kernel_opt line is predictable and exposed in the UI/API (for verification), I think it's fine to concatenate the kernel_opts as it gives the user more leeway.
