I can now provide another progress report. After numerous A4 pages of
scribbled notes and sore eyes, I have finally finished the two x86_32
kernel configuration files (PAE & NONPAE). Having bounced
configurations between 32- & 64-bit, I believe that I now have all
three in a consistent state. (Noting some previous discussion,
elsewhere, with regards to TOMOYO Linux Support, I have also enabled
it in these kernel-ml configuration files.)

All being well, I shall submit the SRPM file to the ELRepo build
systems and then see who will be available to give the resultant
-rc6.1 packages some testing -- using sacrificial VMs and, if
possible, on real iron.
