I've uploaded a patch to /etc/grub.d/10_linux that works well for me.

I'm currently using grub-2.00_p5107-r2 on Gentoo.  I use a /boot/vmlinuz symlink that points to my default kernel, as generated by "make -C /usr/src/linux install".  I'm currently using a custom GRUB config to use this.  It seems a common enough use case, though, to add support for it to /etc/grub.d/10_linux or it's own script in /etc/grub.d/.

By having to create a custom config, I feel I'm loosing the benefit of all the auto-detection implemented in /etc/grub.d/10_linux.  So, basically I created my custom config by running grub2-mkconfig and copying the generated menu item but replacing the kernel path with that of the symlink.
