it is trivial and if people are interested, I can make the expanded
src.rpm available on people.redhat.com.

But to be honest, the best way to get kernel changes done is to send
them for inclusion into the upstream (kernel.org) kernels. The first
question I and Dave will ask for *any* patch is "why isn't it in
upstream", because if it's not good enough for upstream why would it be
good enough for us?
