Can passive foreign interest carryover credit (from table 1116) be used against general tax liability?

I gather from the discussions here (and Google AI) that the carryover credit can only be used against the same category of income.

Say I have a 10-year history of carryover credits from foreign tax paid on RIC/Various mutual funds.

Can I apply a certain year's (by my choice from any of these 10 years) carryover to my current tax liability on this year's mutual funds' DIV income?
