So far it is late 2.6. The high res timer subsystem settled fully somewhere circa 2.6.10 if memory serves me right. One of those lovely kernels which had VM collapse bugs :)
I am finishing testing the vector IO drivers and epoll irq controller for them you will need 3.0 onwards In fact, I have run into brokennes in the core net_sched in 4.11 so I cannot fully test the xmit path in the new network drivers, otherwise I would have sent them out by now. I have asked on linux-net, but no answer so far, trying to debug it myself. It is seriously broken (both for us and for virtio so kvm/qemu should be affected too). A.
