[kernel-xen] firmware conflict rtl8107e

[Glenn Enright]

HI there

The issue is that we actually want the stock kernel installed still. 
Along-side the kernel-xen package. As is, they block each other. Which 
means we have to mess with our deployment scripts to make things work 
temporarily.

Is there any reason the kernel-xen firmware package cant be installed to 
a version based location like the kernel modules (ie 
/lib/firmware/%{KRELEASE})? This would save downstreams having to wait 
on package releases to fix conflicts, and would also ease the hassle on 
package building?
