Many people have, and there is scattered documentation around the net
on custom kernel rpms and kmdls (unfortunately ATrpms' docs suck at
the level of being non-existant). I think one of the nicer ones I'm
aware of is

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/LCG_kernel_modules.html

If you have your kernel already installed and layed out as Fedora
expects it all you need is to choose where to drop the macros and
simply rpmbbuild --rebuild. Paulo's docs go much further than this as
he's doing lots of kmdl rebuilds and has automated every bit there is
:)

Be aware that the upcoming kmdl2 specs and implementations will be a
bit different, but will have better docs ;)
