Can you couple it with the appropriate magic in include/linux/compatmac.h 
and make sure that's included from the affected files?

Something like this ought to do it:

#if LINUX_KERNEL_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,1)
#define minor(x) MINOR(x)
#define major(x) MAJOR(x)
#define NODEV 0
#else
#define to_kdev_t(x) (x)
#endif
