Tested: "make binrpm-pkg" on Fedora 39 then installed with "rpm -ivh ...". Newly installed kernel reboots as expected.
I will have a look at origin/linux-6.1.y next.

Why is this needed in 6.6.y? Is this just a new feature or fixing something that has always been broken? It looks to me like a new feature...
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.
