I meant to take the stock kernel sources (or RH patched sources), change 
vermagic/
modversions in it to match the vendor kernel, build it, and try to insert the 
built module.
I did it successfully for a tablet (touchscreen driver) in the past. There is a 
probability
that module will work (but of course, it may not work as well).
