Don't know. Is there an easy way to find out?

By the way, and on a totally different subject. I wonder if this:
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("low-level driver for AMD PATA IDE");
mightn't be changed to something like:
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("low-level driver for AMD and nVidia PATA IDE");
It took a fair bit if digging in /sys/ to figure out why I was loading 
pata_amd.
