Best would be to have a yum/dnf plugin within akmod that would "emit" a RPM
dependency based on that kernel-devel-uname-r value.

There are probably few corner cases to work through such when there is a
new kernel/kernel-devel and the corresponding kernel-devel isn't there. In
this case it will need to pick the kernel-devel-uname-r from the
transaction.

Also this probably means that such plugin is installed "before" the
akmod-foo installation is requested.
