Turns out yum installs the latest version of things it is
asked to install -- and this can be an issue when installing
kernel-headers and kernel-devel for the purpose of building
kernel modules. Even if yum install of kernel stuff is done
on the machine on which the to-be-built kernel module will be
deployed, the kernel stuff installed by yum might not match
(might be newer than) the kernel of the calling machine!
