Rawhide typically tracks upstream pretty closely, so you can usually
find an apropos srpm in the build system. For example, for 2.6.34:

http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/2.6.34/11.fc14/

Navigate up just two levels from there, and you can see every upstream
base kernel version for which there's a source rpm available. No
2.6.35-to-be builds just yet, but there will be relatively soon.
