is_kernel will probably dissapear soon enough.

And to the attention of spyderous: kernel_is from linux-info returns a
valid exit code and outputs lots of einfos, therefore the [ $(kernel_is
..) ] and the other $(kernel_is) must not be in a subshell whose output
is passed to the command line (hence the "Command '*' not understood").

And lastly, well, sorry for the misinformation. linux-info did indeed
break, but only for me I guess (am I the only one using KERNEL_OUTPUT,
because nobody else seems to complain when stuff related to
KERNEL_OUTPUT is obviously broken), which was unrelated to the current
problem. It's just that when I tried it, there were two problems to
solve.
