Just thought I'd pass on that the module compiles and loads without
errors/warnings after I hacked the code with the new name in
kernel26compat.h

I also changed the name of the local function in main.c to reflect this,
but have made no attempt at kernel version checking, so my hacked code
won't work with earlier kernels.

Anyway, for those who are interested, the hack is easy to implement and
seems to work for the kernel in question.

Cheers
