I think what you are asking is "what patches does Fedora apply over it's 
kernel on top of Linus' kernel?". The answer is to look in the source RPM 
of the Fedora kernel. After the src.rpm is installed a quick inspection 
of the .spec file will show you which patches are being applied and in 
which order and the patches themselves will be the SOURCES directory.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel will give you good hints 
as to which direction to go in.
