Afaik they are not CentOS specific patches. They are Red Hat patches
(unless CentOS add additional patches).

Afaik you can't get the individual patches since that is not how Red Hat
distributes their kernel src rpm which CentOS rebuilds. So you could ask
Red Hat for the individual patches. Good luck with that. They started
distributing pre-patched kernel sources to make competitors live (not
necessarily CentOS) a bit more difficult. There's a long discussion
about this on the Intertubes. Don't have the link anymore so Google is
your friend.
If all else fails, you could do a diff between the vanilla kernel and
the one distributed by Red Hat.
