Handle if crc32c or crc32c_intel should be used based on kernel version

Frede H requested to merge fhdk-development-patch-3e92 into development

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/issue-with-cinnamon-isos/178708/2

Since linux v6.13-rc1 crc32c_intel is removed e.g. is “glued together” with crc32c which is built-in and therefore always loaded.

Community editions like Cinnamon, SwayWM or I3 uses v6.14, while the official versions like Gnome, Plasma and XFCE used v6.12.

The MR is intended to solve the current issue with community editions and to stay on top of the change for official ISO.

  • A function to check if kernel is before Linux 6.13 - return True/False
  • A conditional based on the result of the function has been added to the relevant part of python script.
