From my position, it just makes more sense to keep with one version of the module: the one in our kernel tree. As an unfortunate side effect, this means updates to the module only come out in tandem with the kernel release schedule.

It does apply to the current RHEL kernels (you need the two-liner). Hopefully this will change in short order. Thanks!
