A Thaum is the amount of magic required to conjure one standard white 
pigeon.

I meant that the amount of changes needed to port the driver to 2.6.9 is 
too large, the script to do automatic backporting might turn out to be 
less maintainable than keeping an independent source tree.  We're not 
far from that point even for 2.6.18; for example running the script 
against 2.6.25-current will produce an unbuildable driver.
