Hmm??? All of the patches applied to Red Hat kernels are supplied in
the source rpm, on the source CD. The NFS and Raid patches you talk
about are the standard ones used to get stable operation: they are the
official patches from the maintainers of NFS and Raid, and they are
used by every single Linux distribution that cares about its kernel
working properly --- it's far from being Red Hat-specific kernel code.
What is your objection?
