Okay, I've changed the

  Requires: kernel = ..

to

  Requires: /boot/vmlinuz-%{kernvers}

I think the question you were asking (and I don't know the answer)
is whether we should just use this ALL the time instead of trying to
use Requires: kernel-<cpu> = %{kversion}

I don't have a strong opinion on that.  If I do just use the
file-requirement everywhere I can remove the extra code and
complexity, so there's certainly something to say for taking that
approach.
