It could be - I presume this is the province of the
/usr/lib/yum-plugins/kernel-module.py plugin?  Troy must know what this
does since I see his name in it.  It looks more like a module seeker
outer.  I don't see kernels singled out in the configuration files for
yum.  I also don't see it in "man yum" either.
