Two different "modules" use the same prefix, which does not work with
the current logic, they need to live next to each other in the sequence
of options.
Sequence of options being defined by link order?
Simplest fix is to shuffle Makefile.  But better is to create an acpi "module"
so the namespacing just works, something like below.  Overriding MODULE_PREFIX
only works for builtin code anyway.  (Which makes sense: moving a parameter
from one module to another isn't a change we can cover up).
Can't say I like this. This is fragile. I can just this exploding the next time
again with some innocent change.
