RHEL 4 with a 2.6.9 kernel has the mutex patches backported from 2.6.16. I would hardly call this a fix, nor is it a new driver. Perhaps they do this to actually closer track the mainline while pretending to keep the kernel at 2.6.9, but they certainly do not just backport fixes.

I believe that would be because RHEL4 still has one year before it enters maintenance mode, and would therefore only get bug fixes.
