+Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Exclude kernel modules from ELF dependency generation
+
+The kernel modules are technically ELF DSO's but we only care about
+library level dependencies which the kernel modules will never have, so
+processing them is just waste of time.
+
+This "regressed" when we dropped the "exeonly" flag from ELF in
+commit 8901a6be1652519c4875436e29e0a663be0790b7.

+Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Disable debuginfod server lookups in build and dependency
+ generator scripts
+
+With recent elfutils (0.182 or so) various seemingly innocuous tools
+such as `readelf` like to do network lookups for ELF symbol information.
+There's no circumstance where we'd want that to happen during rpmbuild,
+so disable these lookups during all spec build scriptlets and also
+dependency generator children.
