Manage your own repos and don't put newer kernels than the one you want
into said repo.  

We do this, more or less.  We manage our own repos because we need
consistency between hosts, and we need to be able to test that updates
don't break things (we just had a tools break on a kernel update in the
last weeks).  Then we periodically (usually as needed for bugfixes or 
security patches) sync updates from our SMT repos into the repos our hosts 
use, then have hosts patch up on reboot.  The idea being that a newly jumped 
host and a rebooted host will have the same installed rpms/version.
