When we build Fedora, the kernel is not built in a standard way. It's only
build statically and contains minimal setup. We also don't do loadable
kernel modules, because there wasn't support for it months ago. It's
not tested yet by us.

I did rebuild with CONFIG_IP_NF_MANGLE, but I think, there was more
stuff missing. Have to look again.

I am experimenting on building kernel in normal Fedora way, but there
are some issues right now. It also takes 12-24 hours for a single attempt.

I boot my VM "selinux=1 enforcing=0".

[root at fedora-riscv ~]# semanage login -l

Login Name           SELinux User         MLS/MCS Range        Service

__default__          unconfined_u         s0-s0:c0.c1023       *
root                 unconfined_u         s0-s0:c0.c1023       *
[root at fedora-riscv ~]# id -Z
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0

Experimenting, not sure if it works yet.
