    general since there is no point conditionalizing childOS loading on
    hardware type at the moment, but rather on parentOS.  Hopefully this stuff
    wiill mostly work on shared nodes too, although we'll have to be more
    aggressive on the client side garbage collecting old frisbee'd images for
    long-lived shared hosts.
