Hi Roberto
We also used the ElRepo drivers in production - most of our e-learning
servers including BBB are on oVirt Gen8 hosts. No problems whatsoever
The problem is that I could not find drivers for the kernel version of
the 4.4.10 release.

I've used both Gen8 and Gen9 with ElRepo drivers, in light production,
without any problem, more than 2 years.
Also qla2xxx driver was from ElRepo, being cluster with FC storage.
