+Didn't look at this issue specifically, but automatically loaded modules
+should be loaded in the order specified in
+/lib/modules/foo/modules.order (which I think is used by depmod to
+generate the dep entries in the correct order for modprobe), which
+correctly contains pata_acpi after pata_via.
