[bitfolk] No more support for Gentoo

Hi folks, I've had to remove support for Gentoo because I don't know how to compile a kernel in Gentoo that has Xen support; I'm not a Gentoo user and am not willing/able to put the time in at the moment to learn that. Hardly anyone wants Gentoo[1] so it's hard to justify. This doesn't mean that you can't install Gentoo. There are still some customers at BitFolk using Gentoo, and I find it hard to believe that you can't compile a Xen kernel "the Gentoo way", I just don't personally know how. I'm not willing to call Gentoo supported when the only way I know to get it going is to copy in a kernel and initrd from elsewhere. If you know better and are willing to write a wiki article[2] giving step by step instructions on how to compile a Xen kernel "the Gentoo way" then firstly, some other customers would be very happy, because they don't seem to know either; and secondly, I'd appreciate that a lot too because I'll feel comfortable offering Gentoo as a supported option again. If the article is of good quality I may also be convinced to give you some service credit.
