[Arm-dev] Kernel bump to 4.11 for aarch64

[Jiang, Yutang2]

Hi Jim and all,

I wish to consult you on a default kernel config question.
I download the linux-4.11.0-22.el7a and run "make ARCH=arm64 defconfig" to get the .config , but the .config is very different from SOURCES/kernel-alt-4.11.0-aarch64.config
How did the original kernel-alt-4.11.0-aarch64.config come from step by step?


Best Regards,
Jiang Yutang

I need to take a look at this once the initial build is done and pushed to see how to adapt the previous method to the new packaging. I wanted to get things out the door on 4.11 first, but this does require some thought/discussion.
