[elrepo] 3.10 Kernel build for Linux el6

[Duke Pham]

Hi Elrepo,

On some linux websites, I see the support for mismatched version
combinations between EL kernel and EL Linux version. For example: el7
Kernel 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 runs on el6 RHEL6u7

Does anyone know how this can be done? Does it mean that I have to get the
source code of el7 Kernel 3.10.0-123.el7 and build on the machine with el6
Linux Version? Is there any prebuilt package somewhere? The reason is that
elrepo el6 kernel 3.10 doesn't have the latest device drivers, thus I have
to get the distro kernel from Centos. However, since Centos 6 linux version
doesn't support 3.10 kernel, then I have to look into el7 Kernel 3.10. So
basically, I look into install the el7 Kernel 3.10.0-123.el7.x86_64 on el6
REHL6u7. Is it a good approach? (In our system, due to some dependency, we
can't upgrade to Rhel7, but we need the kernel 3.10 with latest device
drivers)

Please advise
Thanks
--Duke
