Linux kernel 6.12.32 compiled

Compiled in Easy Daedalus, but intend to use the same kernel also for Easy Scarthgap and QV.

The reason, to make less work for myself.

QV 250605 has the 6.15.1 kernel, which I chose so as to get the most recent bcachefs. However, I have gone cold on bcachefs. Apart from it seeming to be still immature, one of the things that attracted me to it is native encryption; but that is not really suitable.

The bcachefs encryption encrypts the entire partition. You cannot pick and choose to encrypt parts of the partition, as fscrypt offers with ext4 and f2fs. QV is a frugal install, with the intention that it can co-exist with anything else in the rest of the partition; encrypting the entire partition is not what I want.

So, there is no need to be at the most recent kernel version. Will stay with the same 6.12.x as used in the Easy OSs.

The kernel has both aufs and overlayfs, but neither are required in QV.

A couple of people have tested QV 250605 and reported video issues. I wonder if the 6.15.1 kernel is responsible? That would be a good reason to go back to 6.12.x.
