One more note:
A little extra clarification. Removing these IDs from the aacraid driver has no impact on the driver
loading for currently available controllers.

These IDs are only used on new controllers and we want the new smartpqi driver
to only be used with these new controllers. Now that the smartpqi
driver is in for-next we need to get rid of this overlap.
