Last time I believe I was the only one who asked whether to put it into drivers/ieee1394 instead of another directory. Of course I acknowledge that everytime a new review round is started, people do reconsider. Especially since we had a gap of a few months since the last LKML review.

I'm impartial to that. Using same names might ease the transition from the userspace side, as far as there is userland which relies on module names.
A certain drawback of same names would be that geeks cannot install both stacks at once during the transition period. Therefore, checking whether eventual problems are in fact regressions involves a module unload/ configure/ build/ install/ reload cycle, instead of just module unload/ reload. This especially means we can only get help from testers who are able to build kernels.
