the 'latest' kernel there is almost a year old, and
IMHO not the best choice for a system nowadays, mainly
because it will have several security issues discovered

not the best choice, but should work with a recent kernel

probably, you just need to adapt one of the old patches
to you hybrid kernel and of course test/debug the result

parts from 2.6.18 up to the recent kernels I guess, unless
the centos folks got lazy and stopped backporting
