Of course that doesn't really help as there will be a dependency between raid456.ko and pq.ko so you cannot avoid having pq.ko loaded while using raid5. It might make sense to create a raid6 module that just contains The call to register_md_personality(raid6_personality) and some linkage so that the code in raid456.ko can get to the code in pq.ko. This is probably worth trying one the raid6 async offload stuff stabilises.
