There is one thing though, the 60 in the "KERN_GAKK=60," addition to
sysctl.h might be the same as other enums applied in later patches.
Perhaps change it to something like 9999. I dont know what the KERN_
enums are for though... Or perhaps it can just be removed.

I couldn't wait til you found it, so I wrote one from scratch instead. :)
The url below point to a hackish patch againt 2.4.23-rc1, and yes, it is
very simple. Works by setting /proc/sys/kernel/setschedandmlock to 1.

Hey! Good! I'm very tempted to add it to the Planet CCRMA kernels right
away :-)
Has it seen much testing? Not that something so simple would require a
lot of testing, of course. I'm trying to think of potential problems
(over the use of capabilities) and can't think of anything. The only
that would occur to me is that access to SCHED_FIFO would be more
universal whereas with capabilities, programs like givertcap or
jackstart are required.
