A distribution would be using modules and an initrd/initramfs.  So yes
that is what you should do.  Or at least don't build ide generic into
the kernel if you want other chipset drivers to work.

Of course there might be some kernel command line option you could pass
to specify which driver to use, but I don't know of one.
