hid-dkms fails to install with kernel 2.6.39-rc3

hid-dkms fails to install with kernel 2.6.39-rc3. Below is the the make log, it seems like there are two functions that no longer exists in this new kernel.

After reading the message above (and serveral others) I'm beginning to think that the new name is just "setkeycode" instead of "setkeycode_new". Unfortunately I have no way of testing this as I don't really know where to change it.

Also, if it matters this is the kernel I'm using:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.39-rc3-natty/

Any progress on this one? It is still an issue in linux 2.6.39.4, 3.0.3 and 3.1rc2 (I think this should be an issue with any newer kernel since the function got deprecated?)
