Because we'll have the identical ID exported from two drivers and the
automatic matching logic in the bootloaders will get confused.

If there's evidence that megaraid_mbox doesn't work for this, then we
can move the id across, but really the legacy megaraid driver isn't very
well maintained at this point so its in our interest to move as many
devices as possible to it not away.
