oops, I posted before "cvs co kernel" has finished.
To allow a noarch sub-package, one has to use an ugly hack:

	ExclusiveArch: noarch %{all_x86} x86_64 ppc ppc64 ia64 sparc
        sparc64 s390x alpha alphaev56

I do not think is is appropriate here.  So I'd like to move these
modules to one separate source package or to individual source
packages to build them as "noarch".

Comments welcome.

Thanks,
