You can copy the code from the stock 2.6.29 sony-laptop.c and replace the 
function. You can also ask Norbert Preining (also subscribed here) for the 
latest version of his work, which should work fine on 2.6.29.

There has been a lot of movement around the sony-laptop module this week and 
good progress has been achieved especially for hotkey functionality, thanks to 
Norbert and Matthew Garret. I'll pick this up next weekend and we'll make a 
release including all these changes, with some provision to make it compile 
also on 2.6.29 kernel.
