Hi Phil, The other thing I just learned today, that the vendor I'm working with to integrate this solution with DCOS/Mesosphere also engaged you guys with the same question on a different site (I think it was centosfaq.org/). Sorry about that and the double handling this caused. It wasn't intentional, more of bad communication at our end/between us. Again sorry about this.
Re the testing, I was able to start the user supplied test app with the kmod you provided. No issues I could see, but to be safe, let's wait for the user to test it as well. I should receive his results by tomorrow.
