I would rather not to. For the installation to remain manageable,
preferably I'd have a kernel-devel RPM built.

Actually, what is provided is essentially the same as before:

[root@...mtodorov kernel]# rpm -q --fileprovide kernel-devel-6.3.3 | grep rwonce.h
/usr/src/kernels/6.3.3-100.fc37.x86_64/arch/x86/include/generated/asm/rwonce.h	
/usr/src/kernels/6.3.3-100.fc37.x86_64/include/asm-generic/rwonce.h	
[root@...mtodorov kernel]#
