According to a presentation I saw on 2.6, the module and hardware interfaces have changed somewhat, so all drivers will require porting. However the differences probably won't be substantial for your small driver. I googled some for more information right now but wasn't successful, but as 2.6 becomes more mainstream I'm sure this info will be out there.
