That "[ri]" is confusing to me.

This one above didn't remove any kernel files.
Needs more testing.

what is the purpose (use) of "arg" here?
what is the purpose of the for loop?
Is any 'shift' needed to consume (or discard) the first 3 positional
command line arguments?

This message is only printed if $modules_version is non-empty. If it is empty,
remove_old_kernel() has silently removed some kernel files (if they existed).

That 'rm' doesn't remove any files. Compare what remove_old_kernel() does.

The script, after this patch is applied, still contains the old script's for-loop
at the end of the "new" prune-kernel script.
Nack.
