Lucky that the RPi seems to run, without the specific patches from the
foundation.

Weird.  I installed in in mid july when I saw it, and downloaded from here
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/armhfp/.
Something must have gotten screwed up, the CentOS-armhpf-kernel.repo is
dated from sept 1st.

I'll just swap the baseurl around, update and hope for the best :)
