What if you do a
rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-1.643.mat.1 kernel-module-unicorn-atm-0.8.7-mat.1_2.6.9_1.643.mat.1
does it still complain?

What happens when you remove it from the spec?  The Provides: kernel = %{version}
occurs twice (once for up and once for %package smp) Do you want to have
the = %{version} taken off or just the whole Provides?

Can you post your spec for your atm module (or at least the requires and provides?)
