[fedora-arm] missing kernel rpm causing troubles

Looks like the missing kernel rpm is starting to cause troubles. I'm
using common kernel and initramfs to provide support for the Kirkwood
based devices like Sheevaplug or the QNAPs and thus need dracut to
create the initramfs. And installing dracut now fails with

[root at fedora-arm ~]# LANG=C yum install dracut
...
--> Running transaction check
---> Package libdrm.armv5tel 0:2.4.20-1.fc13 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: kernel >= 2.6.29.1-52.fc11 for package:
libdrm-2.4.20-1.fc13.armv5tel
---> Package sgpio.armv5tel 0:1.2.0.10-4.fc12 set to be updated
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: libdrm-2.4.20-1.fc13.armv5tel (fedora)
           Requires: kernel >= 2.6.29.1-52.fc11

So the options are - prepare a real kernel rpm (even when it shouldn't
be much useful), prepare a fake kernel package (containing Provides:
kernel=V-R only) or something else.

And I've chosen the fake the kernel method for now, see attachments.
