The skas and guest kernels are most commonly applied to a vanilla 
kernel.org kernel.  I am not aware of a redhat version.  Plus if you aim 
for a custom patchset then you'd typically need to wait longer to get 
that patch set (cf. the blaisorblade and jeff version's which apply 
against the vanilla kernel).
