Updating the host kernel

One of the components of flexVDI suite is a kernel module called kmod-ocfs2-flexvdi. In Red Hat based Linux distributions where flexVDI software is installed, the kernel package is special because several versions can be installed at the same time on the same machine. Almost every other package can only have one single version installed at a given time, and kmod-ocfs2-flexvdi is no exception. But kernel modules, like kmod-ocfs2-flexvdi, are developed for specific kernel version. To be able to have several kmod-ocfs2-flexvdi packages installed at the same time for different kernels, we publish kmod-ocfs2-flexvdi-k514.x86_64, kmod-ocfs2-flexvdi-k693.x86_64, kmod-ocfs2-flexvdi-k862.x86_64, and so on, as different packages, instead of being different versions of the same package.
