One issue is Kconfig. You need to make sure that make oldconfig will
pull in smartpqi if aacraid was previously selected.

The other issue is that the initrd needs to include the smartpqi
module. Hopefully dracut will handle this correctly now. But please test
that it is working correctly when transitioning from an old kernel with
aacraid to a new kernel with smartpqi.
