After applying this patch, the driver is nearly in sync with 2.6.10-rc1:
The only additional differences are __iomem annotations and the use of
netdev_priv.
   

Will __iomem and netdev_priv() changes be in a separate patch?

2.4.x has both.

 

Not now, they would appear in the next backport.
I'm backporting from a moving target. Two weeks ago I posted the patch 
for review to linux-netdev (based on a 2.6 -mm kernel). I haven't 
received any complaints, thus I'm submitting it now for merging.
During these two weeks the __iomem and netdev_priv change were added to 
2.6 and that causes the difference between my patch and 2.6.10-rc1.
