RHEL doesn't have a reltime enabled kernel so centos doesn't either by default. I believe that there is a kernel in plus that is reltime enabled but due to potentially breaking ABI compatibility with RHEL I don't make use of it.
As you can see in my earlier note (and the referenced bug tracker) that was posted almost at the same time as yours, when I attempted to add a relatime patch to the centosplus kernel, it did break the kABI. Therefore it was not applied (there was a workaround however).
At any rate, the point I wanted to make is that the centosplus kernel must remain (and has been) kABI-compatible with the distro/RHEL kernel.
