From: Avi Kivity <avi@scylladb.com>

Fedora kernels provide, and the akmods external module build tools
expect, kernel-devel-uname-r virtual packages. To improve the life
of those who depend on akmods, do the same with the kernel's RPM
packages.

Sashiko notes that this will cause the build to fail when there are two
or more hyphens in KERNELRELEASE:

I can confirm this easily reproduces when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is
enabled:

  | $ make -skj"$(nproc)" ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux- mrproper defconfig binrpm-pkg
  | Building target platforms: aarch64-linux
  | Building for target aarch64-linux

  | ...

This should probably be %{version}? Please test and verify that change
still works for your use case then send a v2.
