Bug description:
  [Impact]
  We need to be able to override the preferred kernel flavour, examples being:

  - OEM metapackages need to set the kernel flavour to oem, and later to
  generic (e.g. when transitioning from 6.0-1000-oem to 6.0-1-generic)

  - FIPS kernels might cause a downgrade compared to an HWE kernel, but
  if you enable FIPS and reboot, you want to be booting a FIPS kernel

  [Regression potential]
  The change affects the ordering of kernels inside grub, hence a regression could be that we end up with the wrong order of kernels.

  [Test case]
  TBD
