Conceptually I break it down into two separate pieces. One being the boot portion and one being the payload. The different kernels make sense as an option on which payload is run. The boot portion should be pretty stable. And the fallback boot would deal with a failed boot update.

I think of the fallback as the recovery if the normal fails. This is kind of an ideological point, but shouldn't the fallback be a minimal recovery version?
why? the fallback could be one of two linux kernels. It all depends on how mmuch space is available.

the determination of whether to do a "fallback" or not is done in the "fallback". I have a writeup on this which I will get released and post.
