linux6.10: Enable netkit support
The BPF programmable network device was added in kernel 6.7.  Netkit device is used by [Cilium](https://www.cilium.io/) instead of `veth` interfaces to improve performance.  It would be nice to have this enabled in the default kernel as it would be a pain to recompile the kernel on my aarch64 Kubernetes cluster.

Comment:
This change can probably wait until the next kernel version bump.  I just wanted to request it now so it could be available some time in the future.

Drop the revision bump then we can pick it up on next minor kernel release.

There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository

linux6.10: Enable netkit support

Description:
The BPF programmable network device was added in kernel 6.7.  Netkit device is used by [Cilium](https://www.cilium.io/) instead of `veth` interfaces to improve performance.  It would be nice to have this enabled in the default kernel as it would be a pain to recompile the kernel on my aarch64 Kubernetes cluster.
