CentOS - Dec 2005 - list of kernel patches --- where?

Traditionally, I've needed to compile my own kernel for my embedded headless
systems.
Traditionally, I've been on  RH7.3; kernel source came with the distro.

Now I'm looking at Centos 4.2 as my base, and two question arise

1: Where is the kernel source (I can hunt it down again, just wanting to know if
anybody has a link to it they can paste please)
2: What are the patches applied to 2.6.9 to generate 2.6.9-22.EL by the package
builder?

(note: I probably have to use a 'latest' kernel from kernel.org to get
'the latest' USB kernel stuff.  Dropping in just the USB code into the
kernel source mentioned above *might* work, and *might* not, this is part of why
I'd like to know what the set of patches are.)

http://mirrror.centos.org/centos/4/os/SRPMS/
the complete kernel code for that release time kernel would be there, if 
and when kernel images are released, the src.rpm's will show up at 
http://mirrror.centos.org/centos/4/updates/SRPMS/

the present latest released kernel is 2.6.9-22.0.1 ( for CentOS4 ) 
released as an update.

Grab the src.rpm for the kernel, extract that - the entire patch set is 
available inside. Might be worth looking through the .SPEC file as well, 
to work out order in which they are applied and other comments the 
developers might have left behind.

See above, all the patches are in there and you can read the .spec file 
to get a listing, as well as the changelog.
