You could download the source rpm for the kernel you are running
yumdownloader --source kernel
and install it in your home directory
rpmdev setuptree
rpm -ivh kernel-*
then check the patches to see if it has been patched by the Fedora
kernel devs for this feature.

You could compile the kernel.org kernel from source. I don't do that,
but have seen people on this list mention in the past that they run the
latest and greatest from kernel.org without problems.
You might have to do a
rpmbuild -bp --target=`uname -m` kernel.spec
in the /home/<your id>/rpmbuild/SPEC directory before you can see this.
Full instructions for building a kernel fromt the source RPM are at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel
This includes information on how to patch the kernel you are building,
so if you *really* want the feature you could backport it yourself from
the 2.6.35 kernel if you find it isn't already in the Fedora kernel.
