It is bogus that this stuff depends on link order to function correctly. The driver is built and linked into the kernel in its current fashion to satisfy Linus' desire to make drivers as independant from the SCSI Makefile and Config file as possible. I've modified how the driver is built for the 6.1.9 driver release so it will be linked in prior to the top level drivers.
