As has been explained numerous times already, the RHEL 6 kernel is numbered 2.6.32, but that is only because that was the starting point: It has pieces that are much nearer 2.6.34, and even 2.6.37, than 2.6.32. So the patches with respect to 2.6.32 are mostly massive backports and tweaks on top of that. So trying to identify the patches by comparing to the 2.6.32 stable series is futile.
