Maybe you should add the *-kmp packages too there.
I don't know much about KMPs. Can you suggest 2 or 3 packages in OBS I could branch?
What I usually do for Evergreen kernels is to check the distribution repository for packages named like *-kmp-default and use rpm -qip on them to get the source package names. But I would suggest to link them rather than branch; there are packages like virtualbox, xen or crash where you may need your patches for newer kernel but wouldn't want to lose future updates of the distribution package.
I could at least find out if they build easily.
Yes, that's a start. If they don't, usually a small fix is needed for new kernel, mostly to handle subtle API changes. If you are really unlucky, adjusting the out-of-tree module requires more work or even a version upgrade; but that doesn't happen too often.
