[kernel-xen] kernel-xen-firmware-3.6.9-2.el6xen.x86_64 conflicts with several already installed packages

[Steven Haigh]

Just as a heads up to people... This is on my list of things to fix 
urgently, however my Yubikey used to log into the build systems has 
failed. A new one is being shipped to me, but for the moment, I am 
unable to build / release new packages to the repos.

As soon as the replacement key arrives, I'll be fixing this and pushing 
an updated kernel package which will obsolete the conflicting firmware 
packages.
