Yes, it _could_ affect the centosplus kernel. This point was addressed
early on when RHEL-6 was released back in Nov 2010. See:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4586
Point 2 (note 12051) is the one that is relevant. I welcome any
feedback / suggestions for the proposed method I outlined there.
While you are there, look also at the issues described for Point 3
(note 12052). Anyone can help in there as well. :)
So far, "luckily" centosplus kernels are "ahead of" the distro kernel
in that they have been built and are available for testing (see note
12502).
