Can you please update us with regards to which patches you are still 
trying to carry/port?

As Brent already asked, can you also please clarify what problems you 
encountered?  As already mentioned, most of the patches can be dropped 
for 4.18 as they are backports to the 3.10 kernel.

Where are you searching for packages to match the el7 vs el8 list?
There will be packages that come out later from other teams as they are 
ported to CentOS 8.  Are you searching the EPEL repos [0]?

Thanks
    Sau!
