There's no reasonable way of dealing with this - even if you came up with some sort of modaliases, the order in which the drivers are probed is significant (some hardware will work with both pciehp and acpiphp, but prefers the former). The only real way to handle this is to build them both in. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@srcf.ucam.org
