Details:

It seems that 20_linux_xen have broken support for detecting genkernel initrd
images with name including arch, i.e.
initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.5.7-gentoo-xen. GENKERNEL_ARCH variable is not
initialized properly because $machine is not loaded. 

The fix is to add 
>> machine=`uname -m`
just before 
>> case "$machine" in
as in conf.d/10_linux so that variable is properly initialized thus allowing
GENKERNEL_ARCH to be initialized later.
