[elrepo] kernel-ml for el9 ready for testing

After much work, we finally have available a kernel-ml package set for 
el9 ready for testing. Packages for x86_64 and aarch64 are available for 
manual download and installation:

https://elrepo.org/people/ajb/devel/kernel-ml/el9/

For the first round of testing we are primarily concerned with 
installation, dependency and boot issues. Do packages install cleanly, 
any unexpected dependency issues for the combinations you are trying to 
install, and errors or warnings during or after booting. Please tell us 
what worked for you and what didn't. We expect these packages to install 
cleanly and be fully functional, subject to the enabled feature set (see 
below).

This first set of packages are based off the RHEL 9.0 kernel 
configuration. Some of the kernel options you may normally expect to 
find in an elrepo kernel offering may not have been enabled yet. For the 
second phase of testing, we will be asking for you to check, test and 
report on any features you would like added that may not currently be in 
RHEL. Just a clear list of the config options you would like enabled 
will be preferred (please no patches or config files of your own). For 
example, amateur radio is always disabled in the RHEL configurations 
(el{5|6|7|8|9}). So a simple request for "CONFIG_HAMRADIO=y" is all you 
need to do. Having end-users making configuration requests is how they 
can help out in the development process.

Providing feedback:
Please either provide feedback by email to one of the elrepo mailing 
lists (requires a subscription) or to the elrepo bug-tracker at 
https://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=1194
We would prefer a new bug request for features you would like enabled as 
this makes things easier for us to track. If you post to a mailing list 
or elsewhere, we will open a bug request on your behalf to track progress.
New package sets will be released as per the upstream release cycle at 
kernel.org (normally a couple times per week), so any changes should 
make it into the next package set within a few days.

Thanks,
On behalf of the ELRepo Team
