[Arm-dev] Kernel bump to 4.11 for aarch64

[Phong Vo]

Hi Jim,

With CentOS 7.2 and 7.3 we chose to use config-centos-sig to add
additional
kernel configurations. This was to avoid changes to Redhat-provided
configuration files.

With this new kernel version, a single big configuration file,
kernel-alt-4.11.0-aarch64.config,
is now used to build and there is no mechanism to merge in new
configurations during build time.

What's your thought about this?

+I've just pushed the 4.11 kernel rebase into git (
+https://git.centos.org/summary/?r=sig-altarch/kernel )
+
+The previous patches included in the 4.5 kernel have been dropped as the
+majority either are now included or no longer apply cleanly. Please take
+a look at configs listed and submit patches for things you'd like to see
+enabled. This 4.11 base will be coming out shortly as part of the
+7.4.1708 build.
