There already is some basic aarch64 support so ideally anything done for 4.5 will be useful when moving on to 4.11, but will switch to that one! > This should be available in the very near future, so working with that > srpm should be fine.

Eh, it's not anything secret but I'm not sure there is much value in carrying it -- it's for an HPC-oriented lightweight kernel called 'mckernel'. There is a bit of arch-specific stuff in there but at this point I think it is quite a bit too 'niche' for CentOs/AltArch SIG :) It can be found here[1] and is described there[2], if you're curious.
