Great - now your question is fully flushed out and people are more
likely to be able to help you.  Before it wasn't clear what you were
looking for, especially since this support was recently added to the
CentosPLUS kernel (certainly not to me and probably noone else so
noone has answered your question).  I'm not trying to be flip, but a
question as broad as you stated it is really not answerable unless
someone is psychic and can read your mind :)

And yes, UAGDSE - Use A God Damned Search Engine.
