Yes, adding centos' plus kernel is high on my todo list, but not yet
done.

Yes, you can install atrpms-rpm-config, as well as the sources/headers
to the centosplus kernel and just donwload the src.rpm. Then just

rpmbuild --rebuild --define 'kmdl_userland 0' foo....src.rpm

I would prefer jfs kmdls if someone wanted to attack this that way,
but probably noone would want to do that. Maybe the rpmrepo work will
produce something like that, but that far in the future.

So the fastest approach is to build yourself as outlined above, or
wait for some time (could be weeks, though) for me to properly embed
the centosplus' kernels into ATrpms kernel support system. I'll try to
speed this up, but I can't promise anything, yet.
