While at it: I noticed the number of patches that are applied to the
kernel sources went up from nearly 40 to about 75 with the kernel-ark
transition. Among those 35 additional patches are afaics quite a few
that are really specific to RHEL (like the one that caused this) and not
needed for Fedora apart from the ELN. The one that caused this afaics is
one of them.

Is that intentional or just something that will get cleaned up?

Side note: What's up with the "Upstream Status: RHEL only" in the commit
messages? They could help differentiating Fedora and ELN/RHEL specific
patches, but that tag is present in some patches that afaics are needed
for Fedora (like
0001-efi-Add-an-EFI_SECURE_BOOT-flag-to-indicate-secure-b.patch)

CU, knurd
