Go to http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 and
get the rawhide binary packages for the kernel you want to run.  Make
sure the one you choose hasn't got debugging enabled.  Then install the
local rpms you have downloaded by using dnf -C ./[package path].  You
can usually get away with just the name if you run the command from the
same directory where the binary rpms are.

Or, download the src.rpm for the kernel you want, and build a package
for your version of Fedora.  This is the better way to go, but a lot
more work.  Here are the instructions:

I recall being told on this list that running make defconfig before
building the kernel limits the configuration to the current hardware.
Or maybe it was make localmodconfig.  I thought I saved the email but I
can't find it.  The regular Fedora kernel uses a config that will work
for almost everyone it will encounter, so it will compile a lot of stuff
you don't need.

If you have an nvidia graphics card, and use the binary blob, getting
it for development kernels for older versions of fedora can be
problematic.  You will probably have to take care of it yourself from
the nvidia website, since F23 won't have a kmod or akmod for that
kernel at rpmfusion.
