This document grew over the years and isn't limited to compilling or running
the kernel anymore.
compile -> interact
levels -> versions
run the current kernel version -> change code, compile, install and boot the current kernel version.

In my usual go-through-the-ML exercise, I noticed that the subjects of
these emails look a bit strange: one is missing the version, the
version is at the end, and they seem to be out of order:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260831151605.638172-2-manuelebnerli@mailbox.org/
I would suggest using `-vN` in `git-format-patch` or `b4` to handle
this instead.
In addition, if the changes on a given version are local to each
patch, you may add them per patch instead, after the `---` line, if
that makes it easier to track.
I hope that helps.
Cheers,
Miguel
