Thanks for the feedback. Here's a new patch.



Rename megaraid to megaraid_legacy, changing the filenames, sysfs name, module 
name, and the messages printed out via printk. I have left the procfs name as 
"megaraid" as presumably userspace tools rely on this.

Remove hardware ID's from megaraid_legacy which overlap with the newgen 
megaraid drivers.

Allow megaraid_legacy to be built alongside the newgen driver.

As the patch is large (300K) I am not including it in this mail. You can get 
it here:

Thanks,
Daniel
