CentOS - Oct 2017 - Missing file in current kernel-devel package

Ok, folks,

   I've identified what my problem is, trying to install the NVidia
proprietary drivers: in kernel-devel-3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64, there
is a file
/usr/src/kernels/3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64/include/linux/fence.h

   It does not exist in the kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64
package. Is this something that got missed, or did HR drop it, or....?

I'm running that kernel with Nvidia 384.90, but I get the nvidia
driver from elrepo. where do you get yours?

Proprietary NVidia. Still, why is fence.h suddenly not there?
