The advantage is much better IDE support, but a side effect is that the IDE code got broken up into a ton of chipset specific modules.
I think the Debian kernel maintainer just loads all of them for backwards compatibility purposes, since before they were all "loaded" in the monolithic IDE driver anyway. > My recurring problem is that all of the modules that I rmmod-ed re-appear > upon a reboot.

You should try and see if you can narrow down the problem; ie, if you can only unload _one_ module and your mouse starts working, that would probably be a useful bit to submit to the kernel maintaner as a bug.
