You can see that the version number is 2.4.20-5. (By looking at the complete 
filename of the skas patch).
A bit outdated, actually.
But the other patches could be interesting for Jeff to take into his tree... 
the names seem to mean that he fixed highmem support and a lot of other 
things...

I don't know... but the question is actually meaningless anyway. I.e. every 
UML patch includes the SKAS patch, but it's useful for when you run a UML 
inside another UML: this outer one will have the SKAS support for the inner 
one. So you need the separate SKAS patch.
You need two separate kernel trees, or you won't be able to build a kernel.
For space consumption, you can get a vanilla tree(please clean it before doing 
this, or you'll copy built files and waste time and space for this) in one 
place(let's say /usr/src/linux), and do this:
cd /usr/src
cp -al linux linuxUm(note that the second folder MUST be on the same 
partition; this command will create hardlink instead of copy, i.e. it will 
consume no space; anyway, patch will patch only one tree, since it creates a 
new file, which is no more a hardlink).
cd linuxUm
<apply the UML patch>
cd ../linux
<apply the SKAS patch>
Bye
