Hi,
As some of you might have seen already: http://lwn.net/Articles/445223/ - linux 3.0 is going to happen.
This means all the crufty "is it 2.4 or 2.6" checks are going to need a rework :)

Does supporting 2.4 kernels still makes sense in 2011 ?

No, but I bet there are still checks present for that :) Or at least references like modprobe.26.

so can the fix be : remove any reference to the check and assume we are using
a 2.6/3.0 kernel ?

My vote too.
I hope too be able too take a look at this, unless someone else has done it
by then. However, it'll be one or two weeks before I get the chance too look
into this. And then I won't be able to spend that much time on it, this out
might take a little while...
So it's quite likely that someone else will beat me to it.
Regards,
Anders
