Now that RHEL 7 is out, it is time to decide on the naming.

I'm accustomed to saying "cplus kernel". So, that will be
kernel-cplus. Then anyone wishing to do further modifications can call
it kernel-c++. ;-)

However, kernel-plus is also fine with me. Since this is KB's choice,
if no one is against it, I suppose this is going to be the "final
answer".
