Well, I think that a patch against the latest 2.4.x kernel and one against the latest 2.4.x pre-release (2.4.x-prex or 2.4.x-rcx) would suffice. Adapting one such patch in order to apply it to some less recent 2.4.x kernel version is not so difficult. At least, that was my personal experience: I successfully applied cpufreq-2.4.22-pre6-1.gz (by hand-editing the diff file) to 2.4.22, 2.4.23, 2.4.24 and 2.4.25. Adapting a hypothetical cpufreq-2.4.25-1.gz to the same kernel versions should not be more challenging...
