DRBD is in mainstream kernel.org sources so if it is needed that badly
building it shouldn't be too much trouble.

But then I'd expect if you or your company have a/an RHEL subscription
DRBD isn't in widespread use on your network at the moment anyways. As
such since it sounds like a nice to have feature rather than a
requirement, build it from source until RedHat are will to lend it their
commercial support, at which point you can expect to receive and require
support for it.
