The reason why many clients use the RHEL _binary_ packages is that
those packages are tested by QA and also used by many other clients
around the world. Creating random pieces of code to be inserted in
such an important piece as the running kernel is quite opposite to
this idea. So those pieces of code would have to come from RH
(compiled with the exact same toolchain as the kernel they are
inserted into) and they would have to be released and tested for every
possible kernel version that is affected... doesn't sound easy.
