That's why I'm fetching the right kernel-devel EVR from centos into
the buildroot override.
I rely on centos here, so when rhel 7.4 will be out, I will update
the
kernel-devel once the centos varriant rise up, not before.
(it could be done fast if using the CentOS-CR).

Do you mean that you are using pre-built kmod that you have made over
akmods ?
I use akmods to build kmod.
I think pre-built kmod should work better indeed. And both
kmod/akmods
work anyway ;)
