Note that 5.1.9-PTF2-efix9 works on 9.2EUS because that is what DSS-G 
v5.0b and v5.0c are using.

If you have access to EUS versions (it is a cheap add on the server 
version if you don't) then you could take the EUS kernel SRPM from 9.2 
and compile your own RPM and run that on 9.4. I have done things like 
that in the past and plan to in the future relating to the issues around 
RedHat and rebuilds.

Because you would not be distributing the RedHat SRPM then you stay 
within the updated licensing :-)
