I wouldn't worry too much about the 4.5 kernel, as for the upcoming 1708
release we'll be moving to the 4.11 kernel. You can find the source for
that at
http://vault.centos.org/altarch/7.4.1708/os/Source/aarch64/Source/SPackages/kernel-alt-4.11.0-22.el7a.src.rpm

This should be available in the very near future, so working with that
srpm should be fine. I'm curious to know what modules you're porting,
and if they'd be valuable to carry in the altarch kernel.
