It would be easier to patch in those patches already merged
in the Rawhide (Fedora Development) kernels.  Especially if
you rebuild from SRPM proper.

Just a clarification, I'm not advocating using the Rawhide
kernels.  If there is one place where Fedora
Development/Core/Legacy differ heavily with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, it's at the kernel.  But the patches from
Rawhide kernels would probably be a far better fit for the
RHEL kernels.

Agreed.  Way too much is added/removed/changed.
