The current 2.6 kernel is pretty good on it's own. If you're looking to patch
it further though, there are only really two patches you need:
1) Ingo's realtime-preempt patchset
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/

2) the current realtime-lsm patch. it can be found in the broken out patches
from the mm patchset
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.12-rc3/2.6.12-rc3-mm2/broken-out/

I'm currently using a kernel with the Gentoo patchset applied (for added
stability and bug fixes), with these two added on top (for lower latency and
the LSM capability). Works fine.
