  1. Rhel kernel pin support to make the host and guest kernels matching vGPU drivers
    expectations.

Requires entitlements, subscritions and added repos to replace the
stream centos kernel with rhel.

  1. kernel-pin: optional AlmaLinux or Rocky vault for RHEL-line kernels without entitlement

When RHEL entitlement is unavailable, like upstream CI pipelines,
optionally enable Alma or Rocky Vault (BaseOS/AppStream) BaseURL
wiring before DKMS/driver install.

Alma and Rocky are mutually exclusive.

Exmplain in README Stream vs 427*.el9_4 lineage and distro-specific
NevRAs.

this doesn't work even as a hack to replace kernel, gcc version must also match the target rhel for which the gpu driver was build with...
