 It would be nice if we could use the same USB stick or SD card to support
 XO-1.5 & 1.75 (and maybe even XO-1) reimaging via the four-button
 approach.  The XO should be able to see that more than one image type is
 available on the storage media and automatically select the one
 appropriate to it.

 That way, Teachers and support personnel would not have to find the
 correct USB stick out of several when dealing with a deployment with
 multiple models of XOs.

 The approach used should be backward compatible with older firmware for
 currently deployed laptop types.  Only having one image type on the USB
 stick or the wrong type should be handled gracefully.  If this can be done
 in a manner which allows older firmware to auto-detect which image to use,
 that's even better.
