For the current kernel, I did this to upgrade the 3w-9xxx module:

cd /lib/modules/2.6.9-11.ELsmp/kernel/drivers/scsi/
mv 3w-9xxx.ko 3w-9xxx.dist
cp ~/src/driver-9.2.1.1/3w-9xxx.ko 3w-9xxx.9.2.1.1
cp 3w-9xxx.9.2.1.1 3w-9xxx.ko
cd /boot/
rm initrd-2.6.9-11.ELsmp.img 
mkinitrd initrd-2.6.9-11.ELsmp.img 2.6.9-11.ELsmp
