What do people think of this? It's a remarkably small change now that
Vladimir's implemented submenus, and I've had a number of requests for
it.

a submenu.

Since most users don't need to know what kernel version is being used by
default, I think we should simplify the title of the default menu entry
(by removing the "with Linux ...") and have a submenu labeled "Advanced
options for $OS". This submenu would include all kernel entries,
including the first entry (which would also be booted if you just
selected the main entry instead of going to the submenu). So the submenu
would look exactly like the main menu currently does, except only
listing kernel entries for one OS.
I've attached a proof of concept patch which does this.
