I was curious about this myself - why it was appearing twice like that. I had done a lot of kernel recompiles earlier, so I went ahead and took 2.2.5ac1 and did "make clean ; make mrproper", along with wiping out /lib/modules for kicks. Redid my config, and recompiled with no mtrr but joystick as a module (as per usual) - installed the modules, etc, and I went and loaded joystick and joy-gravis by hand. No problems...
So I went back in, did a make clean, included mtrr in my config, and recompiled and reinstalled everything. Went to put in the modules by hand (joystick, joy-gravis) and it worked....False alarm.
I guess somehow I skipped a make clean or otherwise ended up with what you suggested - joystick must have gotten compiled into the kernel, not as a module. I'm sorry for taking everybody's time - I usually do my best to isolate any problems/solve them before going to ask for help :)
Sorry about the false alarm,
-V
