The gasket driver fails to build for Kernel 6.8 and later. A patch is available upstream as a pull request, but it has not yet been merged. Until it gets merged, we need to apply the patch ourselves, by pulling from the PR branch.

Since this has been failing for some time and I didn't notice, the stable branch has updated to the affected Kernel version. Thus, we need a build for that version rather than the one in testing. To allow for this, the Jenkins job now takes a parameter that selects which FCOS branch to target. It defaults to testing, but stable and next can be chosen manually if necessary.

57e8097323 ci: Add FCOS stream parameter 
Most of the time, we want to build the module for the latest version in
the *testing* stream, so that it will be ready when that version moves
to *stable*.  There may be cases, though, where we need to build for a
different stream.  For example, if the module never built successfully
by the time a version moved from *testing* to *stable*, we may need to
manually build it for the current *stable*.
