i think the war you do it is take the closest src.rpm plug in the new
kernel and rebuild.  i've done it in the past - keeping an eye on the
results of patch (etc) - and it fits in quite nicely.

i think paulj and kenn do it as well.  at least i think i got the idea
from one or both of them.

the same thing could be done in debian i suspect.

obviously i'm putting a useful post in the middle of a my distro is
better than your distro thread so i'm pretty much an idiot here...
