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:

<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.5-for-2.6.21-rc7.patch>

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?
