Maybe (if so that is extremely confusing), but under Platform "Source"  
(rather than RedHat/x86_64) there is this package:

     Lustre-patched kernel source (installable RPM)
 kernel-lustre-2.6.18-128.1.14.el5_lustre.1.8.1.src.rpm

which is a bit larger is size.

A bit confusing because there is some source code under the normal 
platform selection, but some is under the Source selection.
