RedHat's source RPMs remove portions of the kernel source tree for other
platforms that are not used on the platform you're on. For example, if
you get the .i386.rpm for kernel source, you'll find the alpha, PPC,
SPARC, and others removed. This is to reduce the size of the source by
removing things that will not be used on that machine.
