Crap, this was my fault, the preload-kmp failed to get built as I moved
from pulling it from a different repo, so it disappeared from the repo,
which if you had it installed, would have caused your kernel to
downgrade.

To solve this right now, unload the preload-kmp package and then the
kernel will go back to the proper level.

I'm fixing this in the build system right now, but will take a few hours
to propagate out.

Again, sorry about this and thanks for posting this so I noticed it.
