I have tried backporting the module to el7 for you as requested at 
elrepo, but it is not trivial and so far I've not been able to get the 
code to compile cleanly. I'll see if I can have another look at it this 
weekend, but I'm not overly hopeful given the age of the el7 kernel.

As others have said, it's never going to appear in the CentOS kernel as 
it's not present in upstream in RHEL7.
