[Xen-devel] [PATCH 04/10] mg-debian-installer-update: support armhf

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The path to the installer differs on armhf vs amd64/i386.

Debian Wheezy does not contain kernels for the devices we want to support.
Therefore we download a kernel and modules from wheezy-backports which is new
enough.
