Not sure. One on kernel version being <= 2.6.10 would probably serve your purposes, though it's not particularly well thought of. I suspect people would suggest splitting up the codebase instead of sharing it between 2.4.x and 2.6.x, where I've no idea how well that sits with you.
I vaguely suspected something like this would happen, but there were serious and legitimate concerns about new usage of the 32-bit unsafe methods being reintroduced, so at some point the old hook had to go.
