It's also worth noting that Red Hat often backports features from more
recent kernels into the RHEL kernels.  So the most recent RHEL 6 kernel,
2.6.32-358.18.1.el6, has a bunch of features that weren't in 2.6.32.

As Eric said, if you have a relationship with Red Hat, you may be able
to get some insight into the RHEL roadmap.  OTOH, it's entirely possible
that even Red Hat doesn't yet know if this particular feature will ever
make it into RHEL 7; the future is like that sometimes.

Sometimes there's nothing left to do but crash and burn...or die trying.
