When I was in Oracle and worked with RDS, I have planned to upgrade 
kernel rds to the latest. But after I submitted several patch series, 
Oracle Developing Center of China was shutdown. I can not finish the 
plan. But the UEK kernel in Oracle linux has the latest RDS.

If you want to make tests with rds, I recommend to use UEK kernel in 
Oracle Linux.

Or you can install UEK kernel in RedHat. IMO, this UEK kernel can also 
work in RedHat Linux.
