Two different QLA drivers (qla2xxx and qla4xxx) both define a variable called:
extended_error_logging
This results in a namespace conflict when both drivers are compiled in (make
allyesconfig for example).

Actually, if the symbol can't be made static, please fix both (say with
a qla2/qla4 prefix or something) just so we don't get clashes with other
areas of the kernel.
