Well, what if pata_acpi is already compiled in or already loaded?  Or
what if ata_piix is already compiled in or already loaded but ahci is
not for an ich6 controller?  We have priorities in the drivers, if the
user/admin wants to use the lower priority ones that much, he/she
shall.  This isn't an issue.  There's no way to hotplug intel IDEs
anyway.

Thanks.
