Update Kernel versions

[florianl]

Update versions accroding to https://kernel.org/ (on 2025-11-01).

@florianl Looks like torvalds/linux@b720903 added a dependency on xxd during selftest builds, would you be able to add it as a dependency in the builder?

[florianl]

Looks like, we have to create a dedicated PR for d8b4e39 first.

I will remove this commit from this PR once #85 landed.

[ti-mo]

Gave this a rebase after merging #85.

6.18-rc3 selftests are failing to build:

I've bumped to -rc4 but don't see any changes that could've fixed this; let's see if this one succeeds. It's usually better to skip rc's for this reason.

[florianl]

I see the issue with the rc. Should we set mainline to 6.17.7 and stable to 6.16.12?

[ti-mo]

Let's see if we can fix upstream, don't think we're in a big rush to get this merged.
