So, with this in mind, we discussed on irc (#centos-arm) with Pablo and
it seems that the better way would be to backport patches from 4.15.x
into that 4.14.x (LTS branch)

Pablo is busy testing that, but we also created a git repository where
we have all the specific changes for AltArch (including mods that are
needed to build for armhfp as an example) :
https://github.com/CentOS/sig-core-AltArch

kernel-4.14 is also there, so Pull Requests are welcome and discussion
can then happen there too :-)
