I propose to add a install_and_reboot (if someone has a better name I'm
open to suggestions).  It installs the kernel, and then using nextboot
will set to boot the freshly installed kernel, and then reboot the machine.

I normally use it as:
make install_and_reboot KERNEL=kernel.test

Patch follows:
