Its possible that it already is merged.... I do not know one way or the other. 
However, I have a fairly recent Toshiba Qosmio. When I first got the computer 
I needed the kmod in order to get the computer to boot properly without extra 
parameters and bluetooth to work. Currently, the computer seems to work 
properly without the kmod and also, with the kmod the computer does not boot. 
Consequently, I'm assuming that their is somekind of conflict with the kmod 
and more recent kernels which would seem to indicate that the drivers have 
been merged.

Worth triple checking
