Kernel 6.13 Changes

For the builders, here are some goodies I found in the latest
kernel 6.13:

**Preemption Model
  1. No Forced Preemption (Server) (PREEMPT_NONE)

2. Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop) (PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY)

  3. Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop) (PREEMPT)
  4. Scheduler controlled preemption model (PREEMPT_LAZY) (NEW)
choice[1-4?]: 4

Yes, definitely select #4, or lazy preemption.

**Enable RCU priority boosting (RCU_BOOST) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?

I'm not sure about this, but the help says to enable if
using RT or heavy loads.  I'll pick "no" which is the default.

**Split Lock Detect and Bus Lock Detect support (X86_BUS_LOCK_DETECT) [Y/n/?] (NEW) ?

Definitely say "yes" to this.  In the event that this occurs it
will improve performance.  Read the docs for more info.

**TLP Processing Hints (PCIE_TPH) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?

I believe that this is AMD specific.  Since I don't use that AMD
junk I say "no."  But it doesn't really matter since this option
is only for PCIe 5th Gen and I don't have that.

**PCIe cooling support (PCIE_THERMAL) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?

My systems are so efficiently cooled that nothing ever rises
far above ambient, so "no."

That's all for this iteration.
