Hi Greg -

TL;DR: This commit fixes something that is broken.

Reference bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2239008

The LTS v6.6 kernel's "make binrpm-pkg" target is broken on Fedora 39
and 40 due to a change in grubby. This breaks some CI environments.

The commits in this series address the kernel install problem.

Agreed, I should have mentioned that in this cover letter. I assumed
readers would remember my question about backporting these commits
from last week, and I was perhaps also leaning on the patch
descriptions, which have turned out to be obscure. Apologies.
