Software / library dependency for ixpdimm-sw to run in CentOS7.4 (Kernel 3.10)

In README, it suggests to run on Kernel 4.12 or newer. In case, I need to use ixpdimm-sw in older kernel (e.g. Kernel 3.10/CentOS 7.4), will I be able to compile the tools and run on CentOS 7.4? If not, what is the roadblock?

I just plan to run this in memory mode. Just want to get the CLI tool running.

Thank you.

The kernel recommendation is for an upstream kernel. CentOS will have backports on their 3.10 kernel.
It should be considered a developer preview though but I have tested ixpdimm-cli on CentOS 7.4.

If you want to skip compiling, the EPEL packages can be found here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jhli/ixpdimm_sw/
