So the challenge with redhat/centos is the way kernel patches are
backported. It is very intensive to applying the myriad backported
patches as well as the vserver patches and be able to deal with the
conflicts.
For fc12 I took the approach of applying vserver patch first and then
removing anything that conflicted with it..

fc12 does not backport many patches (30 or so) only 2 conflicted. with
Cent/RHEL you are probably going to get thousands of conflicts. I
would use RPM to build and deploy the kernel but trying to match patch
for patch is impossible (IMHO)
