Or changing aliases order in ldetect.
With modules-init-tools, we used to pick the last alias:

        // take the last one because we find eg: generic/ata_generic/sata_sil
        struct module_alias *it = aliases;
        while (it-&gt;next)
            it = it-&gt;next;
        result = strdup(it-&gt;module);

with kmod, we pick the first one (b/c that's the order that kept the same
results as with modules-init-tools, when I switched ldetect from unsupported
libm-i-t to kmod):

        kmod_list_foreach(l, list) {
                struct kmod_module *mod = kmod_module_get_module(l);
                //if (str) // keep last one
                //      free(str);
                if (!str) // keep first one
                str = strdup(kmod_module_get_name(mod));
        }

It used to works nicely but it appears that it works only good with a
patched kernel.
When we drop our patches, letect broke, reporting the wrong results
(<A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8315">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8315</A>)

We could drop that patch for good and pick the last found alias instead of
the first one in ldetect.
See:
- the patch: <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=3204">https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=3204</A>
- the result in lscpidrake output on unpatched kernel:
  <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=3205">https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=3205</A>

In fact, I'm considering submiting a patched ldetect with the changed ordering
to core/updates_testing and ask people to report the difference (if any)
between:
- core/release's ldetect + kernel-desktop
- core/updates_testing's ldetect + kernel-linus

WDYT?
