If you have the kernel-<some_name>.rpm you can install it with

yum localinstall <kernel-some_name>

or

rpm -ivh <kernel-some_name>

after it installs dracut will run and that creates these files

I *do not know* if it is necessary to run grub2-mkconfig. It would not
hurt. You would have to select this kernel from the menu at boot.
