A good base is Alan's tree, available at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/linux-2.4/2.4.19/patch-2.4.19-pre2-ac4.gz
which is to be applied on top of 2.4.19-pre2. It contains the O(1) scheduler and rmap VM. If you are interested in preemption, the preempt-kernel patch is available at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/preempt-kernel/v2.4/
The 2.5 tree also has most of these toys, and is a better place for this development IMO. Personally, I'd stay away from these all-in-one silly patches that are floating around these days. Your safest bet is just stock 2.4.18 or whatever is latest, although the above addons are all at varying levels of "stable" and "safe".
