Really identical drivers, or just compiled from the same source file?
One thing I'm worried about is that they might share a driver that has
code conditionally compiled one way for the G20 and the other for the
G25.  I haven't _found_ any code like that yet, but it would be a pain
to have to deal with something like that...
