If you want to add a new kernel version within an existing series, e.g. `5.15.27` already exists
and you want to add (or replace it with) `5.15.148`, apply the following process.
1. Modify the list of kernels inside the `Makefile` to include the new version, and, optionally, remove the old one, or move it to deprecated.
1. Determine the series, i.e. the kernel major.minor version, followed by `x`. E.g. for `5.15.148`, the series is `5.15.x`.
1. Modify the `KERNEL_VERSION` in the `build-args` file in the series directory to the new version. E.g. `5.15.x/build-args`.
1. Create a new `linuxkit/kconfig` container image: `make kconfig`. This is not pushed out.

1. Update the list of kernels to build in the `Makefile`
Since the last major series likely is the best basis for the new one, subject to additional modifications, you can use
the previous one as a starting point.
1. Modify the list of kernels inside the `Makefile` to include the new version. You do not need to specify the series anywhere, as the `Makefile` calculates it. E.g. adding `7.0.5` will cause it to calculate the series as `7.0.x` automatically.
1. Make the directory for the new series, e.g. `mkdir 7.0.x`
