is that related to the kernel version number ?
No, this has not changed in a long time.

Mageia 1 pour x86_64 architecture has an aha152x module, but it uses a
2.6.38.7 kernel.
I think you're mistaken.  But if they do have it, then they must have
modified the kernel and not sent their changes upstream.

Ben.

It's also available on linux mint 11 :

denis@denis-portable ~ $ uname -m
x86_64
denis@denis-portable ~ $ find /lib/modules -name "aha*"
/lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/pcmcia/aha152x_cs.ko

You originally referred to the aha152x driver.  This is a different
driver.  And presumably we could enable it without needing any
patches, though it seems slightly crazy to be using a 16-bit bus on
a 64-bit system...

Ben.
Sorry, yes actually, I was mistaken, this is the aha152x_cs module that is used by both Mageia and Mint 64 bits. Even if it's slightly crazy to use it on a 64-bit system, if there is no other way to get the Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI card working, it would be nice if it could be enabled on Squeeze 64 bits.
