If so, how?

Perfect, thank you! I was looking for a mainline kernel yum repo but my google-fu was failing me. That looks like just what I need.

I've installed kernel v3.4.4 from http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml and that seems to have fixed my kernel panic. I'm still using the default Cent OS 6 versions of the btrfs userspace programs (v0.19). Any reason why that might be a bad idea?

At the very least, newer version of btrfsck has --repair, which you
might need later in the future.
There's also features lke forcing a certain compression (e.g. zlib) on
a file as part of "btrfs filesystem defrag" command.

Just grab updated btrfs-progs (or whatever it's called) from Oracle's repo.
