MOL and kernel 2.6.10

Hi,  and Happy New Year to everybody.

Is there any known issue with mol under 2.6.10? It would seem that the
headers have changed with the latest kernel in a way that is
incompatible with the mol kernel. More precisely, I get the following
errors at built time:

and it goes on and on for some time in the same spirit. The function
phys_to_virt does exist, but I guess the right header fails to get
included (and I am not quite able to find the reason).

The thing installs but needless to say the kernel module fails to load
as follows:

    < titi:2.6.10 > pwd
    /usr/lib/mol/0.9.70/modules/2.6.10
    insmod ./mol.ko
    insmod: error inserting './mol.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module

and I get in the logs:

    Jan  1 18:04:53 titi kernel: mol: Unknown symbol virt_to_phys
    Jan  1 18:04:53 titi kernel: mol: Unknown symbol phys_to_virt

Is this a known issue, and most importantly is there any known workaround?

Thanks,
Stefan
