You're not thinking like a distribution.  They want to build one kernel
for almost every configuration.  There are a few things (SMP, bigmem
etc) that they're willing to build extra kernels for, but not, I think,
for old vs new megaraid.  Thus they have to patch this up to build the
two modules.  By and large, the overlapping ID business is sorted out by
the installer, although having disjoint IDs is good since the installer
doesn't have to make a choice.

Can you get this sorted out before 2.6.15, please (so if I believe
Linus, that's about five weeks)?

Thanks,

James
