Paulo is correct, David just uninstall the module and reinstall
it. Watch when doing so whether yum picks up again the wrong
module. In any case you should report it to bugzilla.redhat.com under
yum that yum picked the wrong arch (unless you picked them manually
and picked i586 instead of i686).

It happens sometimes for certain CPUs that yum considers them to be
i586. This will not only affect kmdls but other packages that offer
i686 versions as well.
