We can't fix the ordering permanently unless we make the Ubuntu kernel more
modular, because if pmac_ide is compiled in, it is always initialized before any
drivers which are loaded as modules, no?

Now I'm concerned about the initrd-tools patch itself, because it will change
the ordering for existing installs. Someone who installed Ubuntu with root on a
device managed by one of the drivers listed after cmd64x in Clint's list would
have their system rendered unbootable by this change, would they not?
