Thanks for analysing.

But there is no new kernel.

XenServer7 has specially crafted Centos7 kernel
( https://github.com/xenserver/linux-3.x + 
https://github.com/xenserver/linux-3.x.pg ) and will not move
to newer kernel. I must stay on this kernel because NVidia vgpu
binary blob does not support newer and nvidia refuses
to share sources to kernel bridge for vgpu 
( https://gridforums.nvidia.com/default/topic/231/?comment=1920 )
I will stay on working XS7 beta3 kernel.

Thanks, Martin Cerveny
