Is some AB build config testing "poky" distro and the new kernel with systemd?

At least on genericarm64 this is working on the HW I have access to.

If "poky-altcfg" would not override kernel version to 6.12, basically patch
above, then some machines like genericarm64 could update to 6.16 a bit
sooner.
