I have tried backporting the module to el7 for you as requested at 
elrepo, but it is not trivial and so far I've not been able to get the 
code to compile cleanly. I'll see if I can have another look at it this 
weekend, but I'm not overly hopeful given the age of the el7 kernel.

As others have said, it's never going to appear in the CentOS kernel as 
it's not present in upstream in RHEL7.

Regards,

Phil

Hi Phil, ok that's great thanks.
I have a colleague working through vroc/fake raid issues we're having when
using kernel-ml-5.8.6-2.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm by switching to linux soft
raid. Also we dont have a supported docker-ce for el8  yet.

Hi Phil,

Not sure if you've had time to look at this? As mentioned middleware, like
docker-ce, is preventing us from moving to el8.

Thanks
Dan
