There should _not_ be other things in the patch aside from the scheduler. Those patches are based on Ingo's original 2.4 patches with back-ported fixes from 2.4-ac and 2.5. Unfortunately, at the moment the patch is a bit out of sync. The only 2.4 version of the scheduler I have been able to keep up-to-date is 2.4-ac... but the patch is not too bad.
I think the reason my patches differ from Ingo's is that Ingo includes code that is not yet in mainline 2.5. For example, last I checked his patches had the SCHED_BATCH stuff, which is good, but I only want to put code that is in 2.5 already and tested.
