The ati driver ati_drv.o is just a wrapper which loads one of
atimisc_drv.o
r128_drv.o
or
radeon_drv.o
The idea is that you can put driver "ati" in your config,
and you don't have to worry which driver your particular chip needs.
(This is particularly important with cards like the Rage Pro, which
is supported by the atimisc driver, and the "Rage Pro 128", which
is supported by the r128 driver - if I remember correctly).
