Every CM9 rom is based on the same kernel(base) 2.2.2
Just like CM7.

So, CM7 kernel includes some kernel fixes reqiured for rom to work on green/red lens MB525 devices
CM9 kernel doesn't change kernel version, it also includes fixes so it can work on 4.5.x sbfs, but the rom is still based on 2.2.2

I don't think that you have to downgrade anything.
Just flash CM9 or (I recommend) CM10 plus version, and after that (or before) flash cm9 kernel zip.

on http://defy.wdscript.fr/ you can find different kernels. Two for the defy and two for the defy+.
In the past, I've tried both kernels on my defy.

just download the kernel defy(+) you would test. install the kernel via recovery first, and after that, the Rom.
but remember:
on defy kernels, only defy roms work.
On defy+ kernels, dass only defy+ roms work.

As I remember, we on defy+ kernel I got four vsel entries.
