Obviously that might be possible, but the RH kernel is such a mess of backports and patches, that realistically these days you'd be better off banging you head on the desk than trying.

To be honest when I've done that I've often combined a pile of printk()s in the kernel with comparison with upstream git. The RH changelog sequence wasn't terribly useful (in fact I'm not sure I used it at all).

Or buying a RedHat support contract and asking them to bang their heads against the desk until the problem is solved. After all that is how they make their money.
