In case you're wondering how, what I would do is go to koji (the Fedora buildsystem): http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ Search for kernel, go to the kernel you're running, download an install the src.rpm, and do a "rpmbuild -bp kernel.spec", which will extract the sources, apply all patches and then exit (it will do the %prep fase of the spec file). And then I've an exploded source tree, with the exact sources used to build your kernel.
