Actually...

The whole reason that 2009.06 broke us in the first place was to have a
common boot archive path between SPARC and x86. If that's no longer a
requirement, I'd vastly prefer to just move it back to where it used to
be, namely: boot/x86.microroot. (And presumably,
boot/amd64/x86.microroot). This will unbreak 2008.11 and Linux dom0s,
and will avoid respinning another virt-install fix.

I don't think "boot/amd64 is icky" is a strong enough argument for
purposefully leaving this broken.
