It has a number of kernel drivers enabled and also has some bug fixes.
 Because the distro kernel must remain 100% binary compatible, this
can only be done in the CentOSPlus kernel.

For example, the current CentOS-5 plus kernel has the following:

All Network Adapters, all Video4Linux adapers, all Radio devices,
JFS, ReiserFS, fuse, NCP (Novell partitions) and LDM (Windows Dynamic
Partitions) BusLogic support

The bug fixes from http://bugs.centos.org include:

3156  reiserfs patch
3165  sata_sil24 patch
3369  cifs patch
3544  Intel wifi LED support
3733  vx800 patch
