There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository
linux5.18: set CONFIG_VMGENID to y rather than m
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/37444
Description:
Quoting from the kernel's Kconfig file:
```
config VMGENID
tristate "Virtual Machine Generation ID driver"
default y
depends on ACPI
help
Say Y here to use the hypervisor-provided Virtual Machine Generation ID
to reseed the RNG when the VM is cloned. This is highly recommended if
you intend to do any rollback / cloning / snapshotting of VMs.
Prefer Y to M so that this protection is activated very early.
```
The recommendation and default value is Y over M. This commit changes
the linux5.18 package config to use the suggested value.
