Kernel modules will be part of boot archive. So I'm not sure links will 
work here. Moreover, different modules have different set of supported 
pci ids. IPS will not handle this. I mean, it can, but this means these 
packages will be exclusive, you can't install them simultaneously.

If we agree that one system can't have pkg:/* installed, it becomes more 
easy. Also note, that some newer drivers could depend on libvdpau, so we 
have one more conflict - libvdpau/older nvidia driver.
