[elrepo] AMD EPYC Support

[Dave Chiluk]

As hardware support is accomplished primarily through the kernel, and
you've likely replaced it with an elrepo kernel the Redhat documentation
would not apply.  Additionally since Epyc is such a new processor you might
have better luck running the kernel-ml instead of the kernel-lt as large
driver backports are typically not accepted according to the linux-stable
rules.

If I were you and intent on running an Epyc machine I'd move up to cent 7 +
the kernel-ml, or move to Ubuntu Bionic which has a 4.15 kernel where they
may have attempted to backport some of the Epyc enablement.

Good luck,
Dave.
