No problem;

If all else fails (don't see why it should) I can put up the binary and 
modules so you can triple check. I didn't build an RPM  as I came across 
a packaging problem, an aarch64/UTS_MACHINE issue I believe and I had no 
idea how to solve it nor could I spend any real time investigating it.
