When a new kernel is installed, the post install script touched the file 
to change old "kernel-smp" references to "kernel". Script should only 
update after a check on kernel-smp IMHO.
But if you have both xen-enabled and non-xen kernels installed, they 
both get updated when a new kernel of either type is available.
The /etc/sysconfig/kernel file only determines whether the newly 
installed kernel becomes the default. I personally don't see why there 
are two switched needed for that. Guess it is for historical reasons.
