I was just playing with this over the last couple of days.  I found
that while all of upstream's kernels on ec2 seem to be marked as paid,
another rebuilder of upstream, Oracle, has kernels and initrds out
there for free.  I just grabbed the appropriate kernel-xen from OEL
and installed it, and my hand-rolled Centos5.5 image booted off their
aki/ari without any problems.  They don't seem to have the -194 kernel
out there yet, but at least -164...

Not ideal, but it works.
