How about external kernel module rpms? I am providing such for consumer line Red Hat products (RHL 7.3 to 9 and FC 1 and 2), and these could also be built for RHEL kernels. This makes testing much easier, as you don't need to involve the kernel masters. As soon as the external kernel module rpms prove themselves, you can still merge them into the kernel rpm. Some people in RH are trying to get me a RHEL license for other purposes, if I get one indeed, I will try to provide external kernel modules (but there still is a tiny two-liner patch needed for enabling the autofs external module, which needs to be in-kernel, can't say if this aplies to the current RHEL kernel). -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
