David, that driver will (and can) not solve the acpi resource problem, so you will still have to force-load it. It can only help with automatic fan control (which, after being configured, runs automatically in the NCT chip). The problem with acpi vs. driver access is that there is no synchronization between acpi accesses (through the bios) and linux driver accesses. If both are active, there are potential access conflicts, with unpredictable results. There is really nothing we can do about that.
