To begin, you'd better not to. You'll fall in having to debug problems that will take ages to debug. First make sure you can find and build a kernel that works with your device. It is easily achieved with the kernel tree provided by your SoC manufacturer (e.g. http://www.omappedia.com/wiki/LinuxOmapKernelGitTreesfor OMAP). For x86, I guess you'll find valuable info here<https://sites.google.com/a/android-x86.org/web/documents/customizekernel> .
When done, I would recommend you to make a list of the features, contained in most recent kernel versions, that you want on your device. Isolate the patchsets associated and integrate them one by one. After each feature integration, verify that your kernel boots and that the feature is present and functional.
