I'm almost positive they are in the kernel source rpm.  (Possibly in a
specfile?).

It has been a few years, but I have previously installed the kernel
source rpm and gotten it to compile/install.

Then patched in a few other patches.  It was not too difficult of a process.

OTOH, I suspect extracting all the patches and then applying them to a
newer kernel might be a fairly major effort.  ie. You will likely get
lots of rejects that have to manually applied.

I would not venture there unless you know for sure that the factory
team is not going to release a 2.6.23 kotd, etc.
