Neither. On the generic Ubuntu Dapper kernel:
toresbe at fortran:/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/cdrom$ ls
aztcd.ko  cdu31a.ko  gscd.ko   mcdx.ko   sbpcd.ko  sonycd535.ko
cdrom.ko  cm206.ko   isp16.ko  optcd.ko  sjcd.ko

Same sets are there on the default x86 Debian Sarge kernels, but
understandably not on sparc64.
