WRT CentOS 7, we are maintaining a very current LTS kernel for IoT
boards that works with CentOS 7 x86_64.

It should work well with new devices:

http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/experimental/

(Both i386 and x86_64 have the 4.4.x LTS kernel)

For CentOS 6, there are the ELRepo kernels (ML and LT):

http://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el6/

and the xen kernel:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/virt/x86_64/
