No, you must patch your kernel your self.  We (meaning Red Hat) have never
once kept a patch away from users of other distributions, you can always find
the patches we applied to the kernel or anything else in the .src.rpm file for
the item you are interested in.  In this case, the kernel-2.2.14-12.src.rpm
(and several earlier kernel rpms as well) has the patches you are talking
about in it.  It's up to you to get that src rpm and extract those patches and
apply them to your own kernel tree.
