Should prevent users from using software rendering on PS4s running on Kernel 5.4.247 & others.

Red Danger for attention.

Hello, thanks for the PR! I was thinking of adding something like this because I am aware that there are issues with baikal's low kernel versions. I think it's fine to add a small section next to the info for each distros to know which are compatible and which aren't (can I modify this PR myself? I'm not too sure how this pr stuff works...)

Hey. I guess the way it's done is that I'm supposed to either update my pull request with new commits, or amend my current commit, according to your desire, and then you can merge. Or the other option is that you merge/close this right away, and then add new commits how you like (which is the somewhat the same as having no PR).

You can choose either option; I'll be glad to update this PR as you want. I just made it hastily because I needed a link to it in the moment.

But you want to get rid of the danger message altogether? I suppose that'd work too, though people might miss it.

I'm fine with you keeping the danger message. If you are willing to add a southbridge support tab on the list (unless it looks too small, in that case perhaps we should remove the "Base" section or just rename it to what southbridges are compatible with it (which is a lot more useful I guess)

Edit: actually let's just do the latter it's cleaner anyways
