[Yum] Keeping kernel modules in step with the kernel

Yum very politely offers new kernels when I run check-update but
it doesn't seem to know about new kernel module packages to update
along with the new kernel.  Would this fall under the special 
handling rules or am I missing some clever configuration that would
notice what module rpms I have running with my current kernel and 
offer to install both a newer kernel and the associated module packages
as an update?

I need the nvidia drivers and if there is automation for this in yum, it 
would reduce the annoyance factor a bit.  Plus it would impress my 
family and amaze my friends.
