[elrepo] kmod-e100

[G. J. Yeomans]

Greetings, just wanted to reply with an update.  Since I made the 
request, I figured I would give it a try.  So far, the module works with 
kernel 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64, I am not sure if that is a 7.4 kernel, 
but otherwise I am running SL 7.3.

I'll keep you informed.
