As much as I'm labelled a Fedora proponent, the Fedora kernel
is not something I'd run on RHEL/CentOS. There's just too
many support/changes. Building a RHEL kernel on Fedora is
one thing (which I've done to show that you can build RHEL
out of Fedora, with just a few SRPMS from RHEL for kernel,
etc...). But going the other way is a whole different
ballgame -- Fedora kernels don't take to RHEL systems well.
If you want Fedora features, IMHO, it's best to rebuild from
the RHEL/CentOS kernel, patching in what you need --
sparringly -- from the Fedora kernels. Yes, this is
involved.
I think Johnny's work on getting a SGI guy on-board is
probably the best bet to good XFS support. When Red Hat sees
that someone is pro-actively working on solid XFS support for
their RHEL kernels, I sincerely hope they take more interest
(even if unofficial/unsupported).
I would almost argue that there should be just a RHEL kernel
with XFS added, and not everything added. But I am in no
position with CentOS' development to suggest such.

Yeah, there's just too much different between the Fedora and
RHEL kernels.
