BTW, have you seen Alan maintains a series of mainline kernel packages 
for EL6 here at elrepo:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml

I see the very latest mainline kernel (kernel-ml-3.10.9-1.el6.elrepo) is 
available:

http://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el6/x86_64/RPMS/

This doesn't help you with your nvidia issues (kmod-nvidia still won't 
work with these kernels), but they do provide a conveniently packaged 
and maintained solution (provided as is, without any warranty) for those 
in need of a newer kernel which can easily be installed and used 
alongside the regular RHEL kernels.
