kernel-plus-4.18.0-80.1.2.el8_0.centos.plus

   mpt3sas (some PCI IDs)
   megaraid_sas (some PCI IDs)
   mptsas
   mptspi

Note that config should have been changed:
   # CONFIG_SCSI_ARCMSR is not set => CONFIG_SCSI_ARCMSR=m
to enable arcmsr. This will be done in the next kernel update.

* The config file is now named "kernel-plus-x86_64.config" (changed from kernel-x86_64.config).
