Summary0001565: Build ELRepo EL8 kernels with CONFIG_SCSI_MPI3MR=y
DescriptionI want to use the elrepo kernel on EL8. My RAID controller uses the mpi3mr driver which is included in standard EL kernels and in the EL10 elrepo kernels but not in the EL8 kernels. Without this driver, my storage devices are not detected and I can't boot (I enter dracut recovery shell).

Thanks!
Steps To ReproduceInstall el8 kernel on a host that needs the mpi3mr driver
