That particular kernel doesn't exist in RHOS yet, it's only in RDO.

But yes, once it does exist in RHOS, the removal instructions will need
to be amended.

But a complete removal of RHOS should actually remove this, because this
package is RHOS/RDO specific.  But what should be done in this case is
to remove:

> [admin at el6-mgmt ~]$ s yum remove kernel-firmware-2.6.32-358.114.1.openstack.el6.gre.2.noarch kernel-2.6.32-358.114.1.openstack.el6.gre.2.x86_64

But first you need to be booted into another kernel.  The system won't
let you remove the running kernel.

And then after removing the openstack.gre kernel and firmware, you'll
need to reinstall the latest kernel-firmware available from the RHEL 6.4
repos.

So the instructions should look like:

* Reboot to non-RHOS/RDO kernel
* yum remove *openstack*
  (Now that you're not booted to the OpenStack kernel, you can remove
  it)
* Disable RHOS/RDO yum repos
* yum install kernel-firmware

Or something like that.
