Will either kernel work on a Banana Pi?

Hi,
With the recent CVE-2016-5195 (aka "Dirty Cow"), we bumped the armhfp kernels to the following version : 4.4.26 (both for "generic" and rpi2/rpi3)
Before releasing those to mirror.centos.org (and also sign those) we'd like some people to test the updated/unsigned kernels (feedback wanted !)
- create the /etc/yum.repos.d/ .repo file pointing to corresponding
repo, depending on your board :
- http://dev.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-generic/
- http://dev.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-rpi2/
as an example, here is how it would look like :
[kernel-generic] name=armhfp kernel generic baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-generic/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1
or
[kernel-rpi2] name=armhfp rpi2 kernel baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/7/kernel/armhfp/kernel-rpi2/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1
- now "yum clean all ; yum update"
PS : for rpi2/3, the system will automatically use the updated kernel on next reboot PS2 : for "generic" (so cubietruck, etc) you still need to :
- modify /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf to reflect new kernel
PS3 : depending on the image you're using for cubietruck/bananapi, the /boot space is probably just too small, so dracuty will complain about not able to probably build the -rescue- initramfs (which isn't needed) : just be sure that kernel and initramfs were built before rebooting, and you can also remove the undeeded files in /boot : rm uIm* uInit*
