I can give you a patch (or set of patches) against the latest git vanilla kernel version if that would help. There have been changes to the vanilla scheduler code since 2.6.20 so the latest patch on sourceforge won't apply cleanly. I've found that implementing this as a series of patches rather than one big patch makes it easier fro me to cope with changes to the underlying code.

I've just placed a single patch for plugsched against 2.6.21-rc7 updated to Linus's git tree as of an hour or two ago on sourceforge:

This should at least enable you to get it to apply cleanly to the latest kernel sources. Let me know if you'd also like this as a quilt/mq friendly patch series?

A quilt-friendly series would be most excellent if you could arrange it.

Done:

Just untar this in the base directory of your Linux kernel source and Bob's your uncle.
