Yes. 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.
