Advansys SCSI driver and 2.6.16

I use an Advansys controller for an old, slow SCSI drive and my flatbed scanner. I noticed that upon trying to boot 2.6.16, my Advansys controller wasn't detected. Further investigation shows that the driver has been fairly silently disappearing over the last couple releases.

Is this a permanent change or is the Advansys driver just in need of some updating to current APIs? I'd hate to have to replace this controller and I don't want to be stuck at 2.6.15 forever. If someone could point me in the right direction about what the problem is, I'd be glad to take a look at seeing if I could fix it.
