We want to hard set the x86_64 FIPS required configs rather than rely on default settings in the kernel, should these ever change without our knowing it would not be something we would have actively checked. The configs are a limited set of configs that is expanded out when building using `make olddefconfig` a common practice in kernel building. Note had to manually add the following since its normaly set by the RPM build process. CONFIG_CRYPTO_FIPS_NAME="Rocky Linux 9 Kernel Cryptographic API"
