Thanks for the feedback. Here's a new patch.
Rename megaraid to megaraid_legacy, changing the filenames, sysfs name, module
name, and the messages printed out via printk. I have left the procfs name as
"megaraid" as presumably userspace tools rely on this.
Remove hardware ID's from megaraid_legacy which overlap with the newgen
megaraid drivers.
Allow megaraid_legacy to be built alongside the newgen driver.

As the patch is large (300K) I am not including it in this mail. You can get
it here:

Thanks,
Daniel
