What's the justification for doing all of them? The benefits for faster booting are still there. I wouldn't have modularized PIIX if there was wasn't a conflict.
This has become largely obsolete now with systemd. The overall gain we'll have from systemd far offsets any benefit we'll incur from having ata_piix built-in. I still think this was a bad idea. We had the very same issue during the IDE/libata transition, and I thought we had some lessons learned from them. But no, of _course_ this time it would be different. You wish.
