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".
