I was trying to gather more info on how the requires in your package and the
provides in the kernel packages were interacting. Yeah I didn't understand, but
I was trying to.

No, its not that -- your English better than most native speakers

Shouldn't that be
Requires: kernel = %{version}-%{release}
since you are building a module for a specific release?

I don't really know, as I've not built kernel module rpms, but it seems to me
that they would depend on the %[version}-%{release} as your module has to
target the kernel in question to at least that level.
