OK, I found this: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/kernel-install.html
But this does not really help by itself. Arch would still need to change where the kernels are installed to prevent clobbering the root of the ESP, for instance by installing somewhere in /usr and then calling this tool in post_install() to install the kernel to the proper location in /boot, which is system-specific.
Is anything in this direction planned? Such a change might also be somewhat disruptive to users with BIOS and users with EFI who don't use gummiboot...
Just for reference: the whole thing is also explained in some detail here: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/BootLoaderSpec
