The BootLoaderSpec defines an optional version field that contains a human
readable version string for the menu item. This can be used by bootloaders
to set the boot menu item names instead of the optional title field.
For example the zipl bootloader used by s390x architecture doesn't support
names that contains spaces, so it uses the kernel version as the item name.

New gcc, new warnings:
../lib/str_error_r.c: In function ‘str_error_r’:
../lib/str_error_r.c:25:3: error: passing argument 1 to restrict-qualified parameter aliases with argument 5 [-Werror=restrict]
snprintf(buf, buflen, "INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(%d, %p, %zd)=%d", errnum, buf, buflen, err);
^~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Bring in a quick fix for now.
The BootLoaderSpec (BLS) defines a scheme where different bootloaders can
share a format for boot items and a configuration directory that accepts
these common configurations as drop-in files [0].
Generate BLS snippets at build time that can be copied on kernel install,
so bootloaders can parse to create menu entries using this information.

None of currently supported distributions need that.
Last one was EL5 which is EOL for a while.
