Dicussion follows. There appears to two mainline drivers in the 2.6 tree. Their
compilation is mutually exclusive:

scsi/megaraid: This is the "LSI Logic Legacy MegaRAID Driver" that Ubuntu is
currently including in the kernel/installer/livecd.
scsi/megaraid/[megaraid_mm megaraid_mbox]: This is the "LSI Logic New Generation
RAID Device Driver" that Ubuntu in not currently including.

Matt notes the newer drivers have regression issues. Both drivers support the
same core set, but the implication is that the newer drivers are the future.
