Hi Greg

6.4.10-rc1

compiles [1], boots and runs here on x86_64
(Intel Rocket Lake, i5-11400)

[1]
But I'm unable to compile vbox external modules anymore
seems to be a regression against Kernel 6.4.9

- WERROR is not set
- GDS_FORCE_MITIGATION=y
- new microcode is on the box

Error Message
=============
