Hi Orion,

Yes it's perfectly reasonable to have akmod and even pre-built kmod-foo for
EL.
The problem is that currently we do not implement kABI so we need to
rebuild the kernel for each new kernel. (which kABI would essentially
avoid).

I don't have time to lead the work, but we need to rebase the tools
(akmod/kmodtool) into devel in order to get ready for later release (EL-7
eventually).
