All versions from 2.6.1 - 2.6.7

One of two ways (asumming you've unpacked a vanilla kernel):

1) Using GNU diff-style patches. These are on the project download page.
2) Checking out either a tagged release or HEAD from CVS, and copying
   that over your vanilla tree. Something like:

   cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/gc-linux co -r linux-2_6_N linux
   cp -r linux/* linux-2.6.N

   Where N could be 1-7, depending on what kernel version you're working
   with.  To check out a snapshot of the latest stuffi (HEAD), drop the
   -r option entirely.
