With syslinux it is possible to provide boot-options automatically based on hardware. So we could build a small database with known boot-options for CentOS kernels (and keep contact-info for new kernel respins) so it would automagically work.
It does require either a specialized module, or better, lua-scripting support, which is not officially supported yet.
