What would be the feature set that you'd expect from a plugin like that?
Most (if not all) features of the -kmp packages should be working without
any plugin with yum, IIUC. The only feature I could think of, would be a
plugin to autoselect -kmp packages for installation, if the modinfo(...)
provides of the -kmp match some hardware of the system.
