Description Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev

For the longest time, pegasos support apparently needed a special set of hooks in genkernel to build the kernel for it in a certain way.  This is done by forcing the kernel image name to zInitrd.image, and setting the variable GENERATE_Z_IMAGE to a positive value.  After looking over the code, these double conditional checks seem uneccessary, and so are replaced by a single variable, ENABLE_PEGASOS_HACKS.  The hacks are activated by passing to genkernel the --genzimage command line parameter.

This cleans up the conditional code in preparation for the --ktarget patch, filed under Bug #179294.
