I am inclined to just not fix this - how important is it to
build the external kernel modules for i586 ?

This multi-arch issue should not happen with i686 vs x86-64,
or with ppc vs ppc64, because RPM knows that those architectures
really are different, and it should be able to just install the
kernel-devel packages side by side.
