Long answer: rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.4.22-1.2129.nptl
Short answer: depends on what you think it interesting...here's what
caught my eye:

notification of other cpus if the task is not on this runqueue.
- Fix power-off on shutdown with ACPI.
- Merge required ia32 syscalls for AMD64
- Fix power-off on shutdown with ACPI.
- Add missing part of recent cmpci fix
- Drop CONFIG_NR_CPUS patch which was problematic.
- Various NPTL fixes.
- Drop netfilter change which proved to be bad upstream.
- Fix NForce3 DMA and ATA133 on AMD64
- Fix syscall definitions on AMD64
- Fix Intel 440GX Interrupt routing.
- Fix waitqueue leak in cmpci driver.
