Rather than keep an old kernel around, I just keep grub-efi set up.
Since the issue Mike Cloaked is referring to is the efistub bug, grub or
syslinux (or elilo) continue to work just fine.

So I primarily use gummiboot, but in the gummiboot menu I have ne entry
to get to grub.  From grub I can boot the kernel normally.   But I
haven't been hit by this bug since about 3.9 I think...
