I was able to test linux-libre 5.5.10 on x86_64 by copying the 5.4
kernel config over to 5.5 and building, and it seemed to work fine.

I also did a build of linux-libre-arm-generic using 5.5.10, and it
seemed to work fine as well.

It also occurs to me that it would be nice to get a newer kernel into
the upcoming release, unless there's a reason not to...
