Just for interest sake, I found this:   
http://grizach.sc18.info/nvpatch/ - adapted it slightly for the later 
kernel and ATi driver (instead of nVidia).  kbuild now allows me to 
build the module, but sadly I get a segfault when trying to load the module.

Guess I'll have to wait for the next kernel.
