To put it another way .. those kmods are here:

http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/x86_64/

and they are in the rolling Scientific Linux build.

They are causing no issues there or as far as I can see they are causing
no issue where they are in our tree.

They will not be moved over when we upgrade to the next version .. so,
are they causing you any issues?

I agree they likely could be removed and probably should not have been
included, but at this point I am inclined to leave them where they are.
