I don't know the bz# offhand, but that kernel is the latest released
kernel for RHOS and it does have some bugs around using Quantum.  I was
never able to get guests to get dhcp addresses when using that kernel.

Instead I have been using:
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-grizzly/epel-6/kernel-2.6.32-358.114.1.openstack.el6.gre.2.x86_64.rpm

Which unfortunately is only available on RDO right now.  But we will be
releasing a new RHOS kernel in 3.0 repos in the next few weeks which
will have the same fixes as what is in RDO.
