Not quite sure I get you - if my hypothetical router (running x86 HW,
not like my actual routers that run OpenWRT on arm, and that don't
have lots of extra MB to spare) needs a new kernel, I can just send over
a distro stock one; why should my work machine kernel need to be
appropriate for my router?
