Leftover Debug Code Affecting kernel-core package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-core package and not the kernel-core package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/nouveau/firmware: Fix SG_DEBUG error with nvkm_firmware_ctor()

Currently, enabling SG_DEBUG in the kernel will cause nouveau to hit a BUG() on startup:
