Another choice would be either Alan Cox' ac kernel series,

or Andreas Salomon's series:
http://www.acm.cs.rpi.edu/~dilinger/patches/2.6.10/as3/

(from his first 2.6.10-as1 announcement:)
"I'm announcing a new kernel tree; -as. The goal of this tree is to form
a stable base for vendors/distributors to use for their kernels. In
order to do this, I intend to include only security fixes and obvious
bugfixes, from various sources. I do not intend to include driver
updates, large subsystem fixes, cleanups, and so on. Basically, this is
what I'd want 2.6.10.1 to contain."
