This may not be worth pursuing any further. I was using the kernel src.rpm
that can be found underneath the RHEL5 x86_64 tab, which is named
kernel-2.6.18-128.1.14.el5.src.rpm

Kevin Van Maren pointed out that under the Sources tab there is another 
bundle,
kernel-lustre-2.6.18-128.1.14.el5_lustre.1.8.1.src.rpm, which is explicitly
labelled as "Lustre-patched kernel source (installable RPM)".

It does seem confusing to have the various artifacts distributed as they are
across two tabs. I'd prefer to see all artifacts for a particular kernel
grouped together under the one tab. The Sources tab has quite a mixture of
files which you have to wade through to identify the few for RHEL5 x86_64.
