An easier way would be to copy only sound/pci/hda/* from the older alsa-driver. If any, fixing the incompatible code only in HD-audio driver would be easier. Instead of alsa-driver tarball, you can try hda codes in 2.6.27..33 kernels. It'd be helpful, at least, if you can figure out which version starts breaking.
