I would point out that I have personally been using kernel-ml on all my
main CentOS-6 workstations for months (maybe even years :D) without
major problems.

The only issue I have ever really had was getting the NVIDIA drivers to
compile post 3.13.x:

You might also need a newer acpi .. check the known issues here:

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

But, on both my ThinkPad T520 and Dell M4500N laptops, the kernel-ml
works great for me.
